First Next Generation Sensor Delivered for Commercial Remote Sensing Industry
Longmont, Colo., August 7, 2006 - DigitalGlobe®, provider of the world’s highest resolution commercial satellite imagery and geospatial information products, announced today that ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) has completed and shipped the imaging sensor for the next generation WorldView 1 satellite. Thorough testing at ITT has demonstrated that this sensor, the first next-generation commercial sensor to be delivered, will meet DigitalGlobe’s performance specifications. The WorldView 1 sensor is now at Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. to be integrated into the satellite. With completion of this milestone, DigitalGlobe has completed the majority of the financial milestones against the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s NextView contract, for which the system is being constructed to support imagery delivery.
“This is a great achievement and a very important milestone. We have retired a significant amount of schedule risk,” stated Jill Smith, president and CEO of DigitalGlobe. “The WorldView 1 satellite continues to show steady progress. We are eager to get the WorldView 1 satellite on-orbit in mid-2007 to add capacity on top of the QuickBird imaging satellite, and to meet the growing requirements of government and commercial customers.”
