It is also developing a global crisis response service with Esri, which GeoEye said is the largest worldwide provider of national geographic information systems software for customers including governments and first responders.
Quarterly domestic business included a renewal of the company’s EnhancedView Service Level Agreement with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which runs through Sept. 1 and has eight outstanding option periods remaining.
The company said it recognized $37.2 million in quarterly revenue from the NGA agreement.
It also reported that it invested $268.8 million in 2011 into development and construction of its GeoEye-2 satellite, bringing its total investment into the program to $578.7 million total.
