Purchasing July 17th Sat Imagery

Donation protected
Following the publication of the report Forensic Analysis of Satellite Images Released by the Russian Ministry of Defence Bellingcat is now seeking to purchase satellite imagery of one location mentioned in the report. 

Two images presented by the Russian Ministry of Defence shows a site on July 14th  and July 17th, with the second image showing a Buk missile launcher based at the site absent on July 17th. 

This same location is visible on Digital Globe imagery of the site on July 17th (Catalog ID 105041001104D000), and is visible in the preview imagery (seen below).


The aim of this fundraiser is to purchase the image and make it publically available. Bellingcat will also publish a highly detailed comparision of that image to the images presented by the Russian Ministry of Defence, as well as additional information gathered about the site.

Digital Globe requires a minimum order of 25sqkm, and publishing rights are an additional cost, so we are aiming for a target of £800. Any additional money raised will go towards purchasing satellite images in the future as part of Bellingcat's ongoing investigations in Ukraine.
