[SatNews] ITT Corporation (NYSE:ITT) has been selected to build the imaging system — the “eyes” of the satellite — for DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-3 high-resolution commercial earth imaging satellite, anticipated to be available for launch by the end of 2014. DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-3 will provide imagery that will help meet the increasing needs of the intelligence community and Department of Defense. ITT will immediately begin work on the WorldView-3 imaging system, which will include a sensor subsystem and an optical telescope unit. ITT has an extensive heritage with DigitalGlobe — building the sensors or imaging systems for their current three-satellite constellation — QuickBird, WorldView-1 and -2. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. will build the spacecraft bus for the WorldView-3 imaging satellite.
