GREENBELT, MD, August 7, 2016 – Orbit Logic announced today that it is delivering to  DigitalGlobe, Inc.(NYSE: DGI), an updated version of its Direct Access Facility Collection Planning System (DAF CPS) software that includes WorldView-4 and provides multi-user planning enhancements. The updated planning software will allow DigitalGlobe’s international Direct Access Program partners to task and receive imagery from WorldView-4 (planned for launch in September 2016) in addition to GeoEye-1, WorldView-1, WorldView-2, and WorldView-3, and supports collaborative work by multiple planners in parallel. Orbit Logic has supplied the collection planning software component for DigitalGlobe’s Direct Access Facility since the inception of the program in 2006.

“Orbit Logic has provided planning software for the Direct Access Program for several years now, and we look forward to continuing to support DigitalGlobe’s industry-leading commercial imaging satellite constellation with our industry-leading planning software,” said Alex Herz, president of Orbit Logic.
