The satellite is not a Google sat, it's owned by a company called GeoEye...Google was just a partial sponsor so they could get rights to use the satellite for Google Earth etc.

The task of sending a geo satellite did by the google team was highly appreciatable. It will be recalled as a milestone in our technological field always.Also I request google to provide a new link titled "Google Geo" in their search page so that it will be more useful.

give it time, too many people, not enough bandwidth!!!

The link to the snap that the Google satellite had taken doesn't work
