| About Us |
| TerraServer was founded in 1997 in Raleigh, North Carolina with the simple purpose of finding a commercial market for satellite imagery and aerial photography. |
| The company then forged a partnership with a Russian company, SOVINFORMSPUTNIK, with a cache of 2 meter, panchromatic satellite imagery (SPIN-2). |
| It was this relationship that yielded a series of high-resolution satellite views of Area 51, Groom Lake, Nellis Air Force Base, and the Nevada Proving Grounds. |
| On April 17, 2000, TerraServer became the first to release these images to the general public online, generating a wave of publicity and enough Internet traffic to down a major Internet provider for over 12 hours. |
| In recent years, TerraServer has dramatically expanded its mapping selection by forging relationships with the leading imagery providers in the industry. |
| The result is the greatest selection and highest quality aerial photos and satellite images found anywhere. |
