EarthWatch Incorporated Rebrands Itself
DigitalGlobe
EarthWatch Incorporated announced that it has begun a
new era doing business as DigitalGlobe.
"The name change better reflects our commitment to our
customers and reflects the business we are in, which is
providing information products that meet our customers'
needs," said Herb Satterlee, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "The name DigitalGlobe also helps us pull together all of our brands under one umbrella, providing information products that solve our customers' problems and
help fulfil their project needs. Our belief is that
DigitalGlobe will help make their jobs easier by enabling
access to up-to-date, accurate, spatial information."
DigitalGlobe is scheduled to launch the QuickBird Earth
imaging satellite manufactured by Ball Aerospace &
Technologies Corp., October 18th from Vandenberg AFB,
California on a Delta II launch vehicle provided by the
Boeing Company.

DigitalGlobe Names RADARSAT International
(RSI) Sole Canadian Distributor of QuickBird
Data
DigitalGlobe announced that RADARSAT International
(RSI) has been named the sole Canadian distributor of
QuickBird data.The agreement, which also includes distribution rights in the United States, has a three-year term.
DigitalGlobe's QuickBird, successfully launched on 18th
October 2001, will be a high-resolution commercial satellite, providing imagery with 61-cm resolution. In addition
to the 61-cm resolution of the panchromatic data, 2.44-m
resolution multi-spectral data will also be available.
Applications for this imagery include detailed mapping and
DigitalGlobe is an imagery and information company
located in Longmont, Colorado. DigitalGlobe's QuickBird
satellite has the industry leading capability to provide
basic imagery at 61-centimeter panchromatic and 2.44metre multispectral resolutions. Standard imagery and
orthoproduct resolution will be offered at 70-centimetre
panchromatic and 2.8-meter multispectral. DigitalGlobe is
establishing a market leadership position by providing the
highest resolution satellite imagery product offering, the
greatest collection capacity, and the largest imaging footprint commercially available.These key differentiators are
unassailable for several years to come, as there are no
plans to launch a comparable commercial satellite until at
least 2004. The company offers geographic information
products through its digitalglobe.com on-line imagery
store, an Internet-based, global archive of geographic
information available to commercial businesses.

"We have selected RSI based on its experience and
proven track record as a reliable and responsive distributor of Earth-observation data. RSI's knowledge of the
Canadian market will allow us to effectively reach our
mutual clients," said Herb Satterlee, President of
DigitalGlobe.
"We are very excited to be able to augment our multisensor offerings to our clients with the addition of the
QuickBird 2 sub-metre resolution data. We are looking
forward to building a strong presence in the high-resolution market with this new, highly detailed source of information," said Roland Knight, President of RSI.

Second Anniversary IKONOS Satellite Launch
The IKONOS satellite celebrated its second anniversary in
space on the 24th of September. IKONOS, a commercial
high-resolution Earth imaging satellite, was launched from
Vandenberg Air Force Base (CA, USA), in September 1999.
Since its launch IKONOS has logged up many milestones,
such as completing its 10,000th orbit around Earth in
August 2001, collecting more than 20 million square kilometres of nearly cloud-free imagery and creating more
than 480,000 images, currently stored in the Space
Imaging digital archive.
In advance of the second anniversary of the launch, Space
Imaging has released the first high-resolution image of
Venice, Italy. The image is available at www.spaceimaging.
com/gallery/ioweek/iow.htm. Other dramatic images
acquired by IKONOS will be released in the coming
month.

Interoperable Location Services to be Tackled in

Oracle with Webraska, ESRI with SignalSoft, and In-Q-Tel,
as well as 22 other participant organizations are working

to interoperate between infrastructure platforms and
wireless devices. The use of open platforms in the fast
growing location services sector will be a key market
enabler, and will help increase the ability of companies
offering location based services to compete across the
various networks and platforms that characterize the
global location services market. The Testbed has started
on September 13, with completion anticipated by early
2002. The OpenLS Testbed uses principles of previous
testbeds where technology developers collaborate to create software interface specifications that support interoperability.
