Company Profile
DigitalGlobe was
founded in 1992 as an Earth imaging and information company. That same year, it
was the first company ever to receive a high-resolution commercial remote
sensing license from the U.S. Government under the Land Remote Sensing Policy
Act. With the launch of its QuickBird satellite in October 2001, DigitalGlobe
became the world's highest resolution commercial satellite imagery provider.
Today, DigitalGlobe employs more than 300 people and is leading the industry
into the next generation of commercial satellite imaging with the planned
launch of its WorldView system.
DigitalGlobe has established a market
leadership position through the technical superiority of its satellite systems
and the company's high standards regarding product quality, customer service,
business partner relationships and its "easy-to-work with" business
style.
Because DigitalGlobe was founded by geographic information
systems (GIS) and mapping users, the company understands its customers' unique
needs for geospatial information products for a number of mapping and planning
applications. While DigitalGlobe's formidable leadership has ensured solid
financing, world-class management and legendary marketing vision, the company's
customer-friendly culture positions DigitalGlobe as the industry's leader in
the geospatial information market.
Business Partner
Community
DigitalGlobe has established a worldwide business partner
community to help develop, market and sell DigitalGlobe imagery and value-added
products and services. By carefully selecting and limiting the number of
business partners to represent DigitalGlobe products, the company has committed
to work closely with partners and ensure a fully supported channel.
DigitalGlobe's program is designed to encourage partners to work closely with
customers to meet their specific needs and maintain long term relationships.
DigitalGlobe also sells its products directly to customers through an internal
sales channel.
Products
The diversity of DigitalGlobe's
products enables the company to respond to a variety of customer needs for
numerous applications. DigitalGlobe's value-added applications such as 3D
visualization, Web mapping services support and Internet distribution
infrastructure improve the usability and accessibility of all DigitalGlobe
products for customers who rely on GIS and mapping. Standard offerings
include:
The QuickBird Satellite and the
ImageLibrary
QuickBird orbits at an altitude of 450 kilometers, in a
98-degree, sun-synchronous orbit. The spacecraft collects the world's highest
resolution commercial imagery of the Earth, and boasts the largest image size
and the greatest on-board storage capacity of any other satellite. The
60-centimeter resolution of QuickBird images allows objects on the ground as
small as 60 centimeters - or two feet - across to be seen. DigitalGlobe's
ImageLibrary houses the most comprehensive, up-to-date images available in the
world. Since January 2002, QuickBird has collected and stored in its
ImageLibrary hundreds of thousands of image scenes covering hundreds of
millions of square kilometers. The satellite collects an additional one million
square kilometers each week.
WorldView: The Next-Generation Imaging
System
Scheduled to launch no later than 2006, WorldView will be the
world's only commercial satellite to snap pictures of the Earth at
50-centimeter resolution. The satellite's higher orbit of nearly 800 kilometers
will allow it to revisit collection areas more frequently, letting customers
repeat their image acquisitions about once a day. The WorldView system will
include more efficient image processing systems and multi-satellite collection
planning, shorter tasking timelines, and an expanded network of remote ground
terminals. DigitalGlobe's imaging constellation combining WorldView and
QuickBird will be capable of collecting more than 4.5 times the imagery of any
current commercial imaging system. By late 2006, WorldView alone will be
capable of collecting nearly 500,000 square kilometers (200,000 square miles)
per day of half-meter imagery.
Markets Served
DigitalGlobe
products have value in a number of market areas including agriculture, civil
government, environmental/natural resources, infrastructure, visual simulation,
exploration and intelligence.
