US: Providing an update to the announcement made in 2006, MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates confirmed that it has renewed its contract with DigitalGlobe to expand its existing direct access ground systems. The contract enabled MDA to include the ability to task, downlink, and process imagery from the WorldView-3 and GeoEye-1 satellites.
MDA has also signed an agreement to become DigitalGlobe’s preferred supplier of ground station solutions offered to international customers. MDA’s solution enables customers to directly access the optical imaging capabilities of the supported satellites to obtain timely and accurate geospatial data that is critical for decision-making.
