The office expansion will ensure that customers get superior customer service and continuous access to the best quality commercial satellite imagery now and in the future. When the GeoEye-2 satellite launches in early 2013, it will surpass GeoEye-1 as the world's highest resolution and most accurate commercial imaging satellite on orbit.
Andy Hanna, senior director of GeoEye's European, Russian and Turkish sales regions said, "Our European, Russian and Turkish customers have always been very innovative in using geospatial imagery to address complex and pressing global problems like energy and fleet resource monitoring, land use and planning and critical infrastructure protection. Despite concerns about European budgets and austerity measures, our direct engagement with local partners and customers has been exceptionally positive. Our growing partner network now has sales resources on the ground in more than 12 of the top European Union countries covering in excess of 89 percent of European markets by GDP."

The company's growing global sales network currently comprises 12 strategic business partners (government and commercial) and more than 100 resellers who use a combination of high-resolution, extremely accurate Earth imagery, geospatial expertise and enabling technology to deliver elevated insight to a global customer base.
