DigitalGlobe Development
• WorldView Imaging Corporation was founded in January 1992 in Oakland,
California in anticipation of the 1992 Land Remote Sensing Policy Act (enacted
in October 1992) which permitted private companies to enter the satellite
imaging business. Its founder was Dr Walter Scott, who was joined by co-
founder and CEO Doug Gerull in late 1992. In 1993, the company received the
first high resolution commercial remote sensing satellite license issued under
the 1992 Act. The company was initially funded with private financing from
Silicon Valley sources and interested corporations in N. America, Europe, and
Japan.
• The company's first remote sensing license from the United States Department
of Commerce allowed it to build a commercial remote sensing satellite capable
of collecting images with 3 m (9.8 ft) resolution.
• First satellite: Early Bird 1 was launched for Earth Watch Inc. on December 24
1997 from the Svobodny Cosmodrome by a Start-1 launch vehicle. It included a
panchromatic camera with a 3 m (9.8 ft) resolution and a multispectral camera
with a 15 m (49 ft) resolution. Early Bird 1 was the first commercial satellite to
be launched from the Svobodny Cosmodrome.
– Afterwards 6 more satellites from various cosmodromes.
