Information about Over-Flights

  • 2013 Overflight Wrap Up: The total cost of the overflight was $525k (source: June 26, 2013 Webex meeting minutes)

"The 2013 image collection was a success. Totally cloud-free imagery for the entire corridor was collected in 6 days. Certain lines required reflights due to turbulence which produces image smears. Turbulence was the only delaying factor, especially in flight block G, because it is perpendicular to the prevailing high winds."


  • May (2013) overflights (cost WAPA $74,000 in replacement power)
