DigitalGlobe Products

DigitalGlobe is the world leader in geospatial content, products and related services and we provide our customers and partners with the most advanced, integrated solutions for mapping, viewing, navigating and studying the earth.

With our mission complete – to maintain the industry leading resolution and highest capacity constellation of satellites, offer the most complete and accurate library of earth imagery and provide easy to use solutions for imagery discovery, viewing and integration – we are now the preferred source of imagery for commercial, defense and intelligence and civil government users.

And it doesn’t stop there. Our investment in building the most technologically advanced high resolution satellite constellation with QuickBird, Worldview-1 and the forthcoming Worldview-2 enables us to capture more imagery of the earth’s surface across broader expanses at the industry leading commercial resolution. Our customers and resellers operate with the confidence that we have more of the world covered, more often with the highest degree of accuracy and quality.

Clearly depicting your world

At DigitalGlobe, we concentrate on producing high quality, accurate earth imagery from our satellite constellation and our aerial programs. QuickBird and WorldView-1 (the most agile commercial satellite ever flown) supply the industry leading resolution commercial satellite imagery. Quickbird provides a global collection of 61 centimeter (cm) panchromatic and 2.44 meter (m) multispectral imagery and Worldview-1 provides 50 cm panchromatic. Worldview-2 will join the constellation in 2009, adding 46 cm panchromatic and 8 band multispectral at 1.84 m. All of our aerial collection occurs at an industry leading standard of 1 foot or better for major metropolitan areas.

The world within reach

DigitalGlobe’s satellite and aerial programs collect over 1 million km² of imagery per day. We make this imagery accessible as quickly and as easily as possible, in whatever form that is required to support applications ranging from remote sensing to high quality print downloads. All of our collected imagery is available via our online platforms and ImageLibrary for your search and retrieval. For our resellers, we partner with you to support a variety of business models with our geospatial information and make sure that your specific regions and areas of interest are readily available.

Answering your needs

Whatever the requirement, DigitalGlobe can provide the source imagery because we designed our image processing services to work with your application. Our geospatial content is the source of some of the most sophisticated applications:

• Identifying the world’s natural resources, monitoring pipelines and facilities.
• Understanding the earth’s environmental condition.
• Protecting homelands and borders.
• Responding to emergencies and natural disasters; then rebuilding.
• Planning investments in multi-million dollar infrastructure development.

In addition, we have image processing specialists able to create quality products for sophisticated photogrammetric processing or high quality viewing.
