Three-dimensional spatial imaging system

The system has a processing center for processing images received in two dimensions from satellites (Sat1, Sat2) in a geocentric orbit in a same orbital plane to create resulting images in three dimensions and to broadcast the resulting images in three dimensions. The center is connected to a communications network. A control unit controls the satellites such that a geographical zone (ZG) of earth of which images are to be taken is seen under an angle of incidence (alpha) with respect to nadir that is greater than a minimum threshold and/or less than a maximum threshold. The minimum threshold is equal to 0 degrees, and/or maximum threshold is equal to 30 degrees. An independent claim is also included for a method for space-based imaging in three dimensions.
