It owns the largestt number ofprivate high-resolution satellitexs in orbit, three. Its newest one takess the most-detailed shots ever by a privated satellite. But competitor (NASDAQ: could knock out those last two bragginb points with one summersatellite launch.

DigitalGlobe fileds to issue stock on the New York Stockk Exchange under thesymbol DGI. Most companiee take at least two months from IPO registration to complet preparations andbegin trading. Chuck DigitalGlobe spokesman, said the company isn't commenting on its IPO.
