GeoEye, a premier provider of satellite and aerial imagery and geospatial information, announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with the National University of Singapore to allow the Centre for Remote Imaging, Sensing and Processing (CRISP) to collect and sell Earth imagery and related products from its GeoEye-1 satellite.
Later this year, CRISP will move into their new state-of-the-art research center which will continue to support CRISP’s existing IKONOS satellite imaging operations. The new facility will be upgraded to accommodate direct access to the GeoEye-1 data.
The GeoEye-1 satellite was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. on Sept. 6, 2008 and is currently undergoing satellite check-out and calibration. The Company expects to begin providing customers with imagery in the near future. Markets that will benefit from GeoEye-1’s unprecedented image quality include defense, national and homeland security, infrastructure, air and marine transportation, energy, insurance and risk management, natural resources and environmental monitoring.
