Pasco corporation and Astrium GEO-Information Services reinstate their long-term collaboration with the extension of the licence and maintenance contract for the three Pixel Factory systems owned by the company. These systems allow PASCO to produce high-end cartographic databases based on their own aerial sensors as well as on several satellite sensors, including ALOS. Moreover, PASCO and Astrium have extended the exclusive Pixel Factory Distribution Agreement for the Japanese market.
After the receiving station contract for TerraSAR-X and Pléiades signed in 2011, this new contract and agreement strengthen further the strong partnership between the two companies.
Since 2004, with the first acquisition of a Pixel Factory, followed in 2005 and 2008 by two other systems, PASCO has always shown its founded trust in Astrium GEO-Information Services for its highly advanced earth-observation data production systems for national and international large-scale projects.
With one system in Tokyo for the R&D Centre and two systems interconnected in the Okinawa production centre, PASCO owns the most powerful Pixel Factory system among the 30 systems deployed worldwide today.
Jean-Michel Darroy, Head of Customer Services at Astrium GEO-Information Services and Yoichi Sugimoto, President and CEO of PASCO, congratulate each other on this long, fruitful and faithful collaboration.
