ITT Sensors Aboard Digitalglobe's Worldview-1 Satellite Capture First High-Resolution Images
(White Plains, N.Y., October 16, 2007) -- Following the successful mid-September launch of DigitalGlobe's WorldView-1 remote sensing satellite, the company has released three initial images captured by the advanced onboard sensor system, developed and built by ITT Corporation's Space Systems Division.
WorldView-1's first black and white, sub-meter resolution images include shots of Houston, Texas, Yokohama, Japan, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The ITT imaging sensor used on WorldView-1 to capture these photographs has twice the resolution of its predecessor and allows viewers to see things on the ground as small as a half meter (approximately 20 inches) in diameter. The pictures can be viewed on ITT's Web site at: http://itt.com/news/news_101507.asp
"These first images from WorldView-1 dramatically illustrate the capability of the half-meter imaging sensor developed by ITT," said Frank Koester, vice president and director, commercial and space sciences, ITT Space Systems Division. "We continue to work closely with DigitalGlobe as WorldView-1 becomes fully operational and on delivery next year of an eight band color imaging sensor for WorldView-2."
