| GeoEye has selected Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, a operating unit of Lockheed Martin Corporation to build its new high-resolution Earth-imaging satellite system GeoEye-2. Lockheed has already begun purchasing long-lead material and labour for the design, engineering and manufacturing of the satellite and the associated command and control system. |

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.

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.
