The imagery here comes in GeoTIFF format which works with GIS/mapping
programs, as well as should be able to open them in other graphics programs.
Also, beware these are large downloads, and there may be some learning
curve with using the site.
Here, I just uploaded one, which has enough detail that you can see
individual people (look like ants), vehicles, and such details.

Would a mass uploading of such images be of any use to Commons or
Wikimedia more generally? Could it be tied in to any of the geo-coor
projects?
