18 What Do WorldView (WV) Satellite Enhancements Mean? Accuracy Standalone max CE90 roughly twice as good as QuickBird Accuracy Transfer improves standalone accuracy significantly (demonstrated better than 6 meter CE90 in testing with QuickBird; WorldView will be better given higher quality gyros) Revisit Daily revisit (WV2) at 1 meter resolution or better Much better chance of collection in high cloud regions Area collection capacity + storage + downlink data rate Over 3.5x the total capacity of QuickBird, so faster collection Agility (10x QuickBird) + altitude (1.7x QuickBird) MUCH greater capacity to collect competing orders within the same geographic region MUCH faster collection of orders in high competition areas Stereo Product availability with WorldView systems 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 18

19 Accuracy Comparison Circular Error 90% 6.5 m radius o o o o o o oo oo o o o o oo o o 23 meter radius o o o o o o oo o oo o o o o o o o o WorldView-1 CE90 = 6.5 m QuickBird CE90 = 23 m *At nadir and flat terrain WV-1 products provide more accurate imagery when ancillary data is not available Remote and sensitive areas - Feature extraction - Street center line mapping 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 19

20 DG Continuous World Coverage Provides faster accumulation of cloud-free high resolution imagery in the DG Image Library More panchromatic capacity on WorldView-1 load balances multispectral time available now on QuickBird With WV-2 addition capable of daily revisit WV-2 will dramatically increase multispectral image capacity DigitalGlobe planning capabilities well beyond WorldView-2 DG adding 1-foot digital aerial coverage over urban areas in CONUS and Europe each year QuickBird WorldView-2 WorldView

21 WorldView-1 Increased Collection Capacity Example WorldView-1 has collected 172 million km² world wide QuickBird WorldView-1 January 1 thru October 8, 2008 Each WorldView satellite will collect the same amount of data in one year that QuickBird can collect in a five-year span 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 21

22 Eastern United States 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 22

23 DigitalGlobe Coverage All Coverage as of January 31, 2009 Over 600 million km 2 total archived satellite and aerial imagery coverage (QuickBird = 430 million km 2 / WorldView1 = 122 million km 2 ) 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 23

24 Improved Satellite Agility WorldView-1 is currently the most agile commercial satellite WorldView-2 will be the most agile commercial satellite by 2009 Enhanced agility improves collection efficiency and permits rapid collection of multiple targets per pass QuickBird WorldView-1 WorldView-2* IKONOS GeoEye-1 50 sec 9 sec 7 sec 18 sec 20 sec 200 km 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 24

25 QuickBird Single Pass Area Collected Area Collected Area Collected Area Collected Long Strip Collected Short Strip Collected 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 25

26 WorldView Single Pass Two Areas Collected WorldView-1 looks back to rapidly image two areas side by side Area Collected Area Collected Here, WorldView-1 takes three looks at this one area, swinging forward, back, then forward again Three Areas Collected Two Areas Collected WorldView-1 rapidly swings west to get the first target, west and back to image the second target, then east again to get the third target Area Collected Area Collected Area Collected Area Collected WorldView-1 shows off it s agility when tracking east then west to pick up these two targets Area Collected Area Collected The last collect in this pass is another example of a double collect, looking forward and back within the Two Areas Collected 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary track. 26

27 DigitalGlobe - Imaging the Nation Proactive Collection Model 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 27

28 Changing the Economics and Accessibility of World Imagery I need an image of an area of interest = Traditional Satellite & Aerial Tasking Identify areas with broad interest to more than one customer incorporating feedback from customer base = Strategic Content Collection Make world imagery easily available: online and offline = World Image Library Provide broad access: offline, web, wireless in multiple image forms and layers: basic, orthos and complete countrywide digital map layers = Flexible Access at Lower Price Keep the content fresh: Collect places where people work, live and play every year quality and consistency = Multi-Year Refresh Commitments 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 28

29 DigitalGlobe Proactive Speculative Tasking Model: Emergency/Disaster Response and Large Project Collection Solution Digital Globe routinely places speculative tasking collections in order to acquire imagery quickly, efficiently and enable a rapid response We are constantly monitoring world events to place timely collects with relevance and to respond to urgent customer requests Effective for completing large projects with flexible acquisition windows and regular refresh/monitoring requirements (i.e. IFTN) Beirut, Lebanon Pensacola, Florida Ruoqiang, China 4/20/2009 DigitalGlobe Proprietary 29
