GeoEye's CRISP Attention To Detail
GeoEye, Inc. has signed a multi-year agreement with the National University of Singapore to allow the Centre for Remote Imaging, Sensing and Processing (CRISP) to collect and sell Earth imagery and related products from its GeoEye-1 satellite.
Later this year, CRISP will move into their new state-of-the-art research center which will continue to support their existing IKONOS satellite imaging operations. The new facility will be upgraded to accommodate direct access to the GeoEye-1 data. The GeoEye-1 satellite was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on September 6, 2008 and is currently undergoing satellite check-out and calibration. The Company expects to begin providing customers with imagery in the near future. CRISP was established in 1992 as a Research Centre located at the National University of Singapore with funding from the Agency for Science Technology and Research (A*STAR). The Centre has focused on scientific research in the basic principles and applications of remote sensing technology.
