Interesting:

A British satellite has gone into orbit on an Indian rocket to acquire
full-colour, high-definition video of the surface of the Earth.
The demonstrator is expected to pave the way for a series of at least 15
such spacecraft, which will be operated by the Guildford-based company
Earth-i.

The forthcoming constellation - which will be known as Vivid-i - will be
the first of its kind to provide hi-def, full-colour video.
Short movies of the Earth's surface have been acquired from orbit
before, but not on the envisaged scale.
