Plans for New Satellite Program Questioned
GovExec.com reports on Congressmen worried that the latest plans for new satellites and more imagery from commercial players don’t have enough detail.
Also noteworthy: how much DigitalGlobe and GeoEye spent on lobbying.
DigitalGlobe spent just over $1 million in 2008 and 2007 lobbying Congress and the executive branch on “issues relating to [the] nation’s use of commercial satellite imagery and remote sensing,” according to the firm’s lobbying disclosure reports filed with the Senate.
GeoEye spent $400,000 lobbying over the past two years on defense appropriations and authorizations to “sustain government support for commercial space imagery,” records show.
