The processing chain works at full speed, NEO has already received a satellite image of Marseille in France. People interested in an image of the Netherlands have to be patient, the weather here is not as good as we would wish. A standard full scene will cost 1500 Euro and can be ordered around november 1999.
More information is available here .
Sixty minutes later the satellite came loose of the Athena-2 rocket and after Ninety minutes contact was made. At this moment they are testing if everything functions the way it should. The first images will probably be available around december 1999. Unfortunately something went wrong. It will also be launched this year.
