Need large satellite images

[toekramp]

I need to do a presentation regarding large file transfer, and my boss would like me to use some huge satellite images. The largest I have been able to find so far was a 22 meg image of space. I was hoping for something more 'earth' related, and perhaps in the 50+ meg area. Anyone know where I could locate some of these?

why cant you just make a huge text file and experiment? Why do you need satellite images? 😕

for the customer we are demonstrating to... trust me i know 0's and 1's are all the same, regardless of what the file is

Try searching for "DOQQ"-- digital orthographic files. They are basically arerial photographs which are georeferenced. A lot of federal and state GIS groups have these available for download, and in some cases they can be hundreds of megs in size.

For instance, here's a start:
