As a total imaging provider, ITT will work with you from start to finish-from building your payload to distributing your images, to complete systems integration and test.

Do you have an imaging problem that needs a unique solution? Look no further than ITT. Our solution development started during the cradle of spaceborne imaging with the Lunar Mapper. At that time, ITT created an exceptional imaging solution that not only took pictures, but developed and transmitted them back to earth for analysis.

ITT has provided some of the most relied upon eyes in space for more than 50 years. Among other applications, the data collected by our imaging systems help planners determine the path of new highways, climatologists monitor ice caps and scientists hunt for ancient meteor impact craters.

Today, ITT continues to lead innovation in the custom payload business, as demonstrated by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) imagery programs-NextView and its successor, EnhancedView. The NGA formed these exclusive industry-government partnerships with U.S. commercial satellite imaging companies, DigitalGlobe and GeoEye, to fill imagery and geospatial needs for military, intelligence, foreign policy, homeland security and civil users.

ITT offers complete imaging system solutions-from imaging sensors and imaging subsystems to payload development. We can fabricate precision optics quickly, design the focal plane in-house, and integrate the electronics to deliver systems for test. Since our advanced technology already exists, we can scale it to your project without re-inventing the wheel. Which means less time, less cost and less room for error.
