[SatNews] Being the only geospatial company to own and run their own EO satellite constellation certainly is certifiable.

RapidEye, with five identical Earth Observation satellites, has announced that TÜV NORD of Germany, an official accreditation body for ISO 9001 standards, has extended RapidEye's ISO-certification after an extensive audit for its Quality Management Systems (QMS) as well as upgraded the certification to the ISO 9001:2008 level. This certificate covers marketing, sale, development, and provision of geo-spatial product and service projects. Globally recognized and respected, ISO 9001:2008 standards are set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a Geneva-based, worldwide federation of national standard bodies.
