Full Operational Capability for WorldView-205/01/2010 |
| DigitalGlobe's WorldView-2 satellite has achieved full operational capability. Imagery from the satellite is now available to global resellers, partners, and customers. Launched on October 8, 2009, WorldView-2 joins DigitalGlobe's sub-metre satellites, QuickBird and WorldView-1, on orbit. The satellite significantly expands the constellation's collection capacity, enabling an annual imaging capacity equivalent to three times the area of earth's land mass, and allows for intraday revisit, providing customers with the most timely, relevant imagery available in the commercial market. |

WorldView-2 is also the industry's first commercial high-resolution satellite to offer eight multispectral bands, which provide more spectral information and allow for greater analysis capabilities, including improved feature identification and change detection.
"Today's achievement is an exciting milestone for both DigitalGlobe and the satellite imagery industry as a whole," said Jill Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of DigitalGlobe. "Our three satellite constellation, together with our comprehensive ImageLibrary, will enable us to provide our customers with more comprehensive high-resolution imagery coverage of the world faster than ever before. The innovation offered by WorldView-2, including industry leading agility and the unique eight multispectral bands, will bring new value to the earth imaging industry and imagery's every day users."

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.
