Lockheed Martin will complete the development of the GeoEye-2 satellite and the associated command and control system, under a procurement contract with GeoEye.
To date, GeoEye and Lockheed Martin have been carrying out long-lead development and procurement activities for the GeoEye-2 satellite under an interim purchase agreement.
The GeoEye-2 imagery satellite is being built to support GeoEye’s EnhancedView contracts with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The satellite will also meet growing demands for imagery from commercial and international customers.
