Final Launch Preparations GeoEye-111/07/2008 |
| GeoEye (VA, USA) has announced that its GeoEye-1 satellite safely arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, in preparation for its scheduled launch on Aug. 22, 2008. The 4,300-pound satellite was transported by General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems from its manufacturing facility in Gilbert (AZ) to VAFB. |

The main command and control facility for GeoEye-1 is at the company's headquarters in Dulles, Virginia. A back-up command and control site is located at the company's operations site in Thornton, Colorado near Denver. Three other ground stations will be operated or leased by GeoEye in Alaska, Norway and Antarctica. GeoEye will need multiple sources for primary data reception since the combined daily collection capacity for both the IKONOS and GeoEye-1 satellites will be nearly one million square kilometers. This also allows GeoEye-1 to be in contact with a station about 40 times each day to receive commands and offload the imagery collected on previous orbits.
