GeoEye Satellites Dodging Space Junk
Here are the stats, shared by William Schuster, the company’s chief operating officer, at the Strategic Space Symposium held Tuesday in Omaha, Nebaraska.
The company has had to move the 10-year-old Ikonos satellite seven times to avoid space junk. It's had to move GeoEye-1, in orbit just over a year four times.
Bottom line: the more fuel used to move the birds around, the shorter their productive life in space. On the other hand, getting "wacked" may put them out of commission forever.

GeoEye Selects New PR Firm
The new AOR (that's Agency of Record) is Gibraltar which will provide "public affairs, executive level media relations, and support for the company's corporate communications team."
One of the goals for the new team: "expand its mainstream media opportunities." "The firm will help with positioning our imagery in the press for news breaking events," said Mark Brender.
LeGrand Hart was the previous agency. Eight companies bid for the job.

Whose Logos were on WorldView-2 Rocket?
Bing's (Microsoft) and Nokia's. Google (corrected 10/15, originally said Microsoft) has an exclusive on the GeoEye-1 imagery, but will "share" the WorldView-2 data with Google.

DoD Wants More Imagery; GeoEye and DigitalGlobe Announce Quarterly Earnings
On Monday quite a bit happened in the satellite remote sensing arena:
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) issued a statement of requirements to get industry input and guide its own strategic planning process for imagery needed in the future. While the document is classified analysts and executives suggest a request for proposals later this year which could mean a few billion dollars in revenues for DigitalGlobe Inc and/or GeoEye in the coming years.
DigitalGlobe announced second quarter net income of $8.4 million (19 cents a share) down from $11.6 million (26 cents a share) last year. The forecast for the full year is expected below Wall Street expectations. The second quarter included a $7.7 million pre-tax charge for DigitalGlobe paying off debt early and was the first the company reported as a public company.
GeoEye had a surprisingly good second quarter. Net income for the second quarter was $9.6 million (46 cents per fully diluted share) up from net loss of $558,000 (3 cents per fully diluted share) last year. GeoEye said it would not plan for GeoEye-2 until the government stated its needs and funding plans.
