GeoEye... Airport In 3D


[SatNews] GeoEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEOY) has delivered the first commercial high-resolution airport database of Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad's Technical Services Division (MAHB). This product meets the new International Civil Aviation Organization's Area-2 and Area-3 reporting requirements and uses IKONOS color stereo imagery to create three-dimensional models of the airport, terrain and any flight safety obstacles. GeoEye's Thornton, Colo. facility produced the database and will deliver 12 quarterly updates to the airport authority through a subscription service. GeoEye generates its airport mapping databases from stereo satellite imagery taken over an airport during a single orbital pass.
