WorldView-1, a high-resolution imaging satellite launched and operated by DigitalGlobe, has reached its operational stage. The satellite has met all requirements and is delivering imagery to the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) as part of its Next View programme. Following a controlled rollout with NGA, DigitalGlobe began taking orders for World View-1 imagery on 3rd January 2008. The majority of the imagery captured for the NGA will also be available for distribution through DigitalGlobe's Imagelibrary. The deployment of this satellite frees capacity on the company's QuickBird satellite to meet growing commercial demand for multi-spectral geospatial imagery.
