DigitalGlobe is establishing a market leadership position by providing the highest resolution satellite imagery product offering, the greatest collection capacity, and the largest imaging footprint commercially available. These key differentiators are unassailable for several years to come, as there are no plans to launch a comparable commercial satellite until at least 2004.
