Space Imaging

GeoEye ist der Name des weltgrößten Unternehmens für den Vertrieb von Satellitenfotos und die Bereitstellung von Daten für Geoinformationssysteme. Es hat seinen Sitz in Dulles im US-Bundesstaat Virginia und wurde im Januar 2006 nach der Übernahme von Space Imaging durch Orbimage Holdings Inc gegründet. Mit seinen etwa 300 Mitarbeitern erreicht es nach dem Zusammenschluss einen Umsatz von mehr als 200 Millionen US-Dollar.

GeoEye betreibt drei Beobachtungssatelliten mit einer Ortsauflösung von besser als 1 m: OrbView-2, OrbView-3 und IKONOS. Ein weiterer Satellit, GeoEye-1, ist seit Oktober 2008 einsatzbereit.
