Staff, news services
ITT Corp. announced Tuesday it has received a $3.8 billion contract from Lockheed Martin Space Systems to work on GeoEye-2, an Earth-imaging satellite.
Some of the imaging system work will be done at ITT's Geospatial Systems Fort Wayne location. The majority of the work will be done in Rochester, N.Y.
ITT, based in White Plains, N.Y., has been working on items for GeoEye-2 since October 2007, under a separate contract. The 4,600-pound satellite is scheduled to be ready for launch in late 2012 and operational in early 2013. The satellite is expected to provide the world's highest resolution and most accurate color imagery to government and commercial customers.
