OrbImage, an affiliate of Orbital Sciences Corporation, is developing a fully-integrated global system of advanced imaging satellites and is a leading global provider of satellite-delivered Earth imagery services with a planned constellation of five digital remote sensing satellites. It currently operates the OrbView-1 atmospheric imaging satellite (launched in 1995), the OrbView-2 ocean and land multispectral imaging satellite (launched in 1997), and an integrated image receiving, processing and distribution system with over 20 current and planned regional ground stations around the world. OrbImage is building OrbView-3 and OrbView-4, some of the world’s first high-resolution optical imaging satellites. Both satellites will provide imagery with one-meter panchromatic and four-meter multispectral resolution. OrbView-4 will also include a hyperspectral imagery capability.
