DigitalGlobe WorldView-2 Satellite Arrives at Vandenberg Air Force Base

Third High-Resolution, Remote-Sensing Satellite Expected to Launch October 6
LONGMONT, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of commercial
high-resolution, world-imagery products and services for commercial, defense,
and intelligence clients, today announced that the WorldView-2 remote-sensing
satellite has arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base in anticipation of its launch
on October 6, 2009.

As one of the next generation of WorldView-class satellites, WorldView-2
features advanced agility and accuracy, industry-leading collection capacity,
and eight-band multispectral imagery. The company`s sophisticated constellation
enhances DigitalGlobe`s ability to rapidly collect and maintain up-to-date
imagery of the areas of greatest interest to its defense, intelligence,
government, and commercial clients. Furthermore, it accelerates the speed by
which its leading ImageLibrary is refreshed and expands the ways in which the
ImageLibrary can be used.

"With the addition of WorldView-2, an impressive third component of our
constellation, DigitalGlobe will have increased capacity, which is expected to
improve the speed with which we deliver our imagery products to our customers
and provide more frequent refresh of our ImageLibrary to support a range of
monitoring, analysis, and decision-making services," said Jill Smith, chairman
and chief executive officer of DigitalGlobe. "The combination of rapid,
comprehensive imagery collection; an industry-leading ImageLibrary; and fast and
flexible worldwide content delivery allow DigitalGlobe products to integrate
seamlessly into any mapping or enterprise solution, including hosting services,
Web services, and mobile applications."

The launch of WorldView-2 will make DigitalGlobe the only commercial
world-imagery provider with high-resolution, eight-band multispectral
capability. The new bands support greater levels of feature identification and
extraction, more accurate change detection, and a truer reflection of the
world`s natural colors. With additional capacity and more frequent revisit
rates, DigitalGlobe can provide the most accurate depiction of the world from
space, supporting client initiatives that include digital map-making and
location-based business decisions.

DigitalGlobe expects images and products from WorldView-2 to be available within
90 days of launch. The satellite was built by Ball Aerospace(NYSE: BLL) and the
imaging sensor was provided by ITT Corporation`s (NYSE: ITT) Space Systems
Division.
