| DigitalGlobe has contracted with Raytheon to provide a constellation collection management system. Using a strategic analysis of collection orders and other company priorities, the system will further optimise the use of DigitalGlobe's constellation, the largest in the industry, with three sub-metre satellites already on orbit, ensuring efficient imagery collection and fast delivery to its customers, and providing a foundation for future capacity growth. |

"For today's imagery user, it's all about speed of large area collection and refresh, customers demand both," said Dr. Walter Scott, founder and chief technology officer of DigitalGlobe. "Raytheon's new system will ensure our constellation now and in the future is able to provide a robust collection capacity, dependable refresh, collection reliability, intra-day revisit, and ultimately deliver on our promise to provide the most timely, relevant imagery when our customers need it."
"Raytheon is excited about this opportunity to provide DigitalGlobe a constellation management solution. We're bringing over 35 years experience providing mission management solutions to this new customer." said Barbara Johnson, Vice President of Intelligence and Information Systems, Ground Enterprise Solutions.

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.
