Google is reportedly considering acquiring small satellite startup 'Skybox' for 1 billion dollars.
Skybox is a California-based firm with its own satellite group that is specialized in data analytics and highly detailed images and videos of Earth, CNET reported.
Earlier, Google purchased drone maker Titan Aerospace, which signaled the company's interest in enhancing the imagery of Earth.
The acquisition of Skybox could prove helpful in advancing work that's being done by geospatial teams at Google Maps and Google Earth, the report added.
