The agreement gives Antrix, the commercial arm of India's Department of Space and NRSA, the National Remote Sensing Agency of India, exclusive rights to sell Orbimage products in their country.

Antrix and NRSA will be the primary contact in India for sales, customer support, value added services and training relating to Orbimage imagery products.

"We are pleased to have Antrix and NRSA as our exclusive representative for OrbView product sales in India," said Timothy Puckorius, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales & Marketing for Orbimage.

"Antrix and NRSA have lead the vibrant Indian remote sensing industry for years. Over the last 11 years I have worked with many members of the Antrix and NRSA team and we have a lot of confidence in their abilities to represent Orbimage effectively in their region. We are looking forward to a mutually beneficial relationship for years to come."

"The addition of Orbimage products in the suite of high resolution satellite data products will considerably enhance the benefits to the users in India, in terms of choice, competitive pricing, quality of products and timeliness of delivery," said Mr. K. R. Sridhara Murthi, Executive Director, Antrix Corporation.

"As one of the leading players in the earth observation market with a large network of international ground stations for disseminating the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) products globally, Antrix looks forward to diversifying its services in this field and is planning to bring new data sets through its future state-of-the-art satellites and global alliances."

"The core competencies established by the NRSA in the fields of geospatial data and information delivery and their applications augurs well for this prominent position in the market."

Orbimage recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of the launch of their high-resolution satellite, OrbView-3, which collects 1 meter panchromatic (black and white) and 4 meter multispectral (color) imagery of every continent on earth.

Imagery from the OrbView-3 satellite has many applications including mapping, environmental and agricultural monitoring, land use and land classification, natural disaster assessment, national security and forestry mapping, among others.
