Google acquires satellite company Skybox for $500M
Summary: Google said it plans to use Skybox's satellites to keep Google Maps accurate with up-to-date imagery and eventually for work with disaster relief.

Google announced that it has aquired Skybox Imaging for $500 million in cash.

Skybox is a Mountain View, California-based private sector satellite maker. Its satellites record and provide access to high-definition video of landscapes and detailed imagery — and Google hopes to use them keep its Maps application up to date.

Google also said it plans to eventually use the satellites to help improve Internet access and disaster relief, areas the company said it has long been interested.
