EarthWatch Rebrands Itself 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 fulfill 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 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 2.44-meter multispectral resolutions. Standard imagery and orthoproduct resolution will be offered at 70-centimeter 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 on-line imagery store.
