Digital Globe Corporate and System Update

DigitalGlobe currently operates the world’s highest-resolution commercial satellite constellation that includes QuickBird and the first of two next-generation satellites, WorldView-1. The company plans to complete construction of its second next-generation satellite, WorldView-2 in late 2008. The company’s updated and growing ImageLibrary contains more than three hundred and fifty million square kilometers of satellite and aerial imagery suited to countless applications for people who map, view, navigate and study the earth and its natural resources.

QuickBird satellite imagery and information products have been used successfully for a wide variety of federal/state/local government and research applications including forestry, grassland, coastal management and monitoring, emergency response/disasters, GIS/mapping, mining and other natural resource management to name a few.

The 60cm resolution QuickBird satellite has now been producing high quality imagery since reaching operational capacity in early 2002 and the recently launched 50cm WorldView-1 satellite system also reached full operational capacity in late 2007.
