Next-Generation Satellite Confirmed for Launch19/08/2008 |
| The Air Force 30th Space Wing at Vandenberg Air Force Base has approved the September 4 launch date for GeoEye-1 clearing the way to complete final preparations for launch. The previously reported retest of a booster range safety antenna was successfully completed on 14th August. The next step in the pre-launch sequence is the mating of the GeoEye-1 spacecraft with the Delta II booster, which will occur early next week. |

Bill Schuster, GeoEye's chief operating officer said, "We are good to go for launch on 4th September. We look forward to soon providing the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and our other customers around the globe with the highest resolution and best quality commercial satellite imagery available on the market."
GeoEye-1 will have the highest resolution of any commercial imaging system -- 0.41-metres or 16 inches for panchromatic (black and white) imagery and multispectral (color) imagery at 1.65-metre resolution. However, due to U.S. Government licensing restrictions, commercial customers will have access to imagery at half-metre ground resolution. The satellite is designed to offer three-metre accuracy, which means that end users can map natural and man-made features to within three meters of their actual locations on the surface of the Earth without ground control points. GeoEye-1 was financed in part by GeoEye's approximate USD500 million contract with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).
