PhotoSat Completes Satellite Topographic Mapping in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq

PhotoSat is pleased to announce that it has completed satellite topography mapping of WesternZagros's Garmian Block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, using stereo satellite photos from the high-resolution Pleiades 1A and 1B imaging satellites.
