The GeoEye-1 Spacecraft will be the World's accomplished resolution bartering Earth Imaging Satellite accessible to abutment Geospatial abstracts requirements about the Globe. This arrangement alteration is an important footfall on the alley to launch. The digital was completed on budget, after any change orders which generally access costs. We accept and will abide to conduct exercises, rehearsals, training and added risk-reduction measures to abutment the new barrage date of August 22, 2008. GeoEye-1 demonstrates that top assuming imaging satellites can be developed aural anticipated amount and agenda objectives The ability akin accomplished with GeoEye-1 decidedly lowers accident in the development of approaching imaging satellites of this chic for both bartering and government customers. The accession of the GeoEye-1 digital sensor will accommodate abatement and a greater accommodation to bear address and stereo angel abstracts for abounding barter about the apple acute top above 2D and 3D Geospatial Image abstracts for assorted Industry applications
Houston -- Satellite Imaging Corporation, a arch provider of digital and geospatial advice appear that on August 22, 2008 GeoEye Inc. has appointed a barrage date for its next-generation, apple imaging digital GeoEye-1. Boeing Launch Services and GeoEye accomplished this barrage date in an alteration to the Launch Service Agreement that was active on May 7, 2008.
GeoEye-1 charcoal at the Gilbert, Ariz. ability of General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, GeoEye's prime architect and integrator for the digital bus and telescope. The digital will be alien in aboriginal July to Vandenberg Air Force Base in time to abutment the August barrage on a United Launch Alliance Delta II vehicle.
Bill Schuster, GeoEye's arch operating officer, said, "This arrangement alteration is an important footfall on the alley to launch. The digital was completed on budget, after any change orders which generally access costs. We accept and will abide to conduct exercises, rehearsals, training and added risk-reduction measures to abutment the new barrage date of August 22, 2008."
"GeoEye-1 demonstrates that top assuming imaging satellites can be developed aural anticipated amount and agenda objectives," said David Shingledecker, carnality admiral and accepted administrator of chip amplitude systems for General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems. "The ability akin accomplished with GeoEye-1 decidedly lowers accident in the development of approaching imaging satellites of this chic for both bartering and government customers."
GeoEye accumulated a aggregation of contractors with around a 100-percent mission success record. ITT's Space Systems Division (Rochester, NY) complete the sensor or camera. GeoEye-1 will be aerial into a near-polar apogee by a United Launch Alliance Delta II barrage car provided by Boeing Launch Services (Huntington Beach, Calif.).
With the accepted afflict of orders for high-resolution digital angel abstracts for the IKONOS Satellite Sensor and added high-resolution < 1m satellites about the globe. "The accession of the GeoEye-1 digital sensor will accommodate abatement and a greater accommodation to bear address and stereo angel abstracts for abounding barter about the apple acute top above 2D and 3D Geospatial Image abstracts for assorted Industry applications" said Leopold J. Romeijn, admiral of Houston based Satellite Imaging Corporation, a Value Added Reseller of GeoEye Imaging products.

Date And Time
GeoEye-1 is slated for barrage August 22, 2008 and will crop abode mid-morning Pacific time to get the best apogee for imaging.
Location
GeoEye-1 will be launched aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta II barrage car from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Vandenberg is amid about three hours arctic of Los Angeles. The abutting airport is Santa Barbara. To apprentice added about Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Launch Vehicle
GeoEye-1 will be aerial into a near-polar (sun-synchronous) apogee by a 12-story-tall Delta II barrage car acquired by Boeing Launch Services (Huntington Beach, Calif.) from United Launch Alliance, Denver, Colo. This barrage car is the a lot of reliable barrage car in its chic with 80 after acknowledged launches as of March 15, 2008. The Delta II has performed flawlessly back May 1997, accession its after cord by ablution aircraft for military, NASA and bartering users, including the Global Positioning System satellites, the accompanying Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity, the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Mercury-bound MESSENGER orbiter. In the rocket's 131 flights all-embracing back debuting in 1989, 129 of those launches accept been successful.
