Denver CO (SPX) Jan 9, 2006 The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Friday awarded a $24-million satellite imagery contract extension to Space Imaging. This ClearView contract option enables the NGA to acquire additional commercial imagery from Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite for another year. "Space Imaging has time and again proven the value of its map-accurate, high-resolution commercial imagery to our national and homeland security markets. The NGA now has continued assurance into 2007 for a reliable supply of high quality IKONOS geospatial products and services for a broad spectrum of value-added applications," said Robert Dalal, Space Imaging's CEO. In January 2003 Space Imaging was awarded the largest ClearView contract of the three major U.S. commercial high-resolution satellite companies (the others being DigitalGlobe and Orbimage, which has just acquired Space Imaging). The first three years of the contract period had a minimum value to Space Imaging of $120 million.
