Marketwired
DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global content provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, today announced the
collection of the first imagery from the company's Advanced Ortho
Aerial Program. Through a special agreement with Microsoft
announced in October 2009, the Advanced Ortho Aerial Program will
provide wall-to-wall 30 cm aerial coverage of the contiguous United
States and Western Europe that DigitalGlobe has the exclusive
rights to distribute beyond Bing Maps. The program's first
orthophoto mosaics are of Augusta, GA, San Diego, CA and Tampa, FL,
and can be viewed on DigitalGlobe's website.
"The Advanced Ortho Aerial Program enhances our ability to
provide comprehensive coverage with unmatched accuracy, quality and
aesthetics. With these areas available off-the-shelf through our
Ortho Vision Premium -- Precision product, we offer high-quality,
highly accurate imagery faster than ever," said John Oechsle, vice
president of strategy and product at DigitalGlobe. "The locations
we've captured today are just the beginning. We will continue to
enhance our offerings to deliver comprehensive imagery solutions to
our customers and strengthen our commitment to increasing the value
and availability of high-resolution digital imagery."
To collect the first-ever multicontinental aerial imagery from
30 cm, DigitalGlobe and Microsoft Corp. use the UltraCamG, a large
format digital aerial camera manufactured by Vexcel Imaging GmbH, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft, which is based on Vexcel's
UltraCam large format camera systems, the top-selling large format
aerial sensors internationally.
Imagery collected through the Advanced Ortho Aerial Program will
provide content for the Advanced Ortho Vision Premium -- Precision
product, the highest quality product from DigitalGlobe's Advanced
Ortho Series, also announced today and available for customers in
Q3 2010. For more information, please visit DigitalGlobe's

The Advanced Ortho Aerial Program further expands DigitalGlobe's
industry-leading ImageLibrary and, combined with DigitalGlobe's
high-resolution satellite constellation, provides customers with
more than 500 million square kilometers annually of highly current,
accurate imagery that can reveal revolutionary information and
insight.
