GeoEye-1 Certified24/02/2009 |
| The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has certified imagery from the GeoEye-1 satellite as meeting their stringent requirements for quality, accuracy and resolution. GeoEye is now delivering GeoEye-1 sub-half-metre ground resolution satellite imagery to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). |
|
As a result of the certification, the GeoEye-1 satellite is fully commissioned and GeoEye is able to begin recognizing revenue of USD12.5 million per month under the terms of a Service Level Agreement (SLA) signed with the NGA in December 2008. Deliveries to NGA began 23 February 2009.
The NextView program is designed to ensure that the NGA has access to commercial imagery in support of its mission to provide timely, relevant and accurate geospatial intelligence in support of national security. GeoEye won its USD500-million NextView contract in September 2004 and was able to build and launch GeoEye-1 within four years of contract award, with no cost overruns. The prime contractor for GeoEye-1 is General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems. The satellite's imaging system was built by ITT Corporation.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
