The Benefits of UrtheCast Aiding the U.N.

UrtheCast is a recently entered canadian company that plans to offer their customers with live online video from space. Customers will be able to view their favourite places in the world ‘up close’ from space. UrtheCast has presented people with the choice of ‘owning’ their own satellite imagery, however they also have a great opportunity of being directly involved with the relief programs and world wide issues the U.N. face everyday.

One of the biggest advantages war criminals in Africa and terrorists have is the fact that they remain hidden, and their bases of operations are impossible to find. However UrtheCast, an independent corporate firm, presents the opportunity and chances of hopefully finding these criminals. The U.N. will be able to shorten the time it takes to gather information thus giving them more time to efficiently solve such humanitarian issues.

It will also be very beneficial for UrtheCast to build the strongest of relationships with the U.N. and other relief institutions. Together with the U.N.’s determination and UrtheCast’s idea and technology, the world can truly change for the greater good.

Knowing is half the battle, and a big part of knowing is being visually aware and constantly updated.
