Unfortunately, the high-res sensor is a CCD panchromatic device, which is probably going to be hard to use to find anything, as I suspect it's only RGB. The multi-spectral scanner, which could be useful, has a resolution of 8m, which means that anything it would detect would only show up as a few pixels.
