Matt O'Connell, GeoEye's chief executive officer and president, said, "We chose Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company to build GeoEye-2 to ensure high confidence in mission success. They have a 50-year heritage of building imaging systems for the US Government and have built several hundred Earth-imaging satellites."
Lockheed Martin built GeoEye's IKONOS satellite. Launched in 1999, IKONOS has exceeded ten years of successful on-orbit operations. It continues to provide high-resolution imagery of the Earth to GeoEye's commercial and government customers around the world.
