1. SCOPE
1.1 Purpose
This document describes the requirements for design and implementation of the DigitalGlobe WorldView-3 Satellite, being constructed to support DigitalGlobe commercial imaging operations.
1.2 System Overview
Ball Aerospace & Technology Corporation (BATC) is providing the integrated WorldView-3 imaging satellite to DigitalGlobe, Inc. As the Space Segment Integrator (SSI), BATC is manufacturing a Spacecraft Bus that can accommodate the panchromatic + multi-spectral WorldView-3 Instrument. This will be the same Bus design as used for predecessor WorldView Satellites. The Instrument is being supplied by ITT Industries Space Systems Division (ITT) to DigitalGlobe, with miscellaneous support units / functions provided by BATC. All ITT equipment will be provided as Customer Furnished Equipment (CFE) to BATC for Satellite integration. As the SSI, BATC will then perform Satellite level testing, prepare the Satellite for launch, and support on-orbit checkout of the Satellite.
The Satellite will be in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude between 450 and 830 km with a descending equator crossing time between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. [**Redacted**] Image data is recorded by the Spacecraft Bus and is normally downlinked to DigitalGlobe ground stations. However, direct downlink to user sites may also be performed in certain circumstances. Direct downlink is via the normal wideband downlink.
A key feature of the WordView-3 Satellite is Direct Tasking, where imaging and downlink parameters are directly uplinked from a customer’s ground station to the satellite, and image data is directly downlinked to a customer’s ground station, on the same and/or successive passes. Direct Tasking supports an expanded customer base and fulfills these customers’ desires to compress the overall planning-tasking-collection-downlink timeline and to not expose their task list to outside parties (including DigitalGlobe) prior to image collection. Full command authority is maintained by DigitalGlobe, with key commands needed to initiate the image and downlink operations uploaded from DigitalGlobe ground stations.
1.3 Document Overview
This document specifies functional, performance and interface requirements for the integrated Satellite and the Spacecraft Bus, including external Satellite interfaces, Instrument-Bus interfaces and Instrument integration, Bus and Satellite test, launch, and operational requirements. Separate Interface Control Documents (ICDs) detail the specifics of the Instrument-Bus interfaces and Integration and Test processes. Satisfaction of the Satellite-level requirements contained in this specification assume the Instrument provided as CFE meets its requirements, which are documented separately. As the SSI, BATC will refer to the separate Instrument Specifications as necessary to maintain the Spacecraft Bus to Instrument ICDs and develop an integration and test plan sufficient to ensure the integrated Satellite meets its system-level functional and performance requirements.

(DIGITALGLOBE LOGO)   WorldView-3 Satellite Specification
Doc’t # 10329655
Rev 1.0: 20 Aug 2010
This specification may contain requirements that have not been fully defined. These open requirements are indicated by a TBR, and/or TBD:
TBR — To Be Resolved: Indicates parameters that exist, but may change after discussions with Contractor and others (e.g.: DigitalGlobe).
TBD — To Be Determined: Indicates parameters that have not yet been determined.
2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
This document is the Satellite Specification. This specification defines the technical requirements called out in the Contract and a Statement of Work (SOW). The Contract and SOW define schedule requirements, deliverable items and programmatics. However, in the event of a conflict between a specific requirement herein and documents, then the Contract, the Statement of Work, this document, and Applicable documents shall govern in this order. If the revision is not specifically noted, the latest revision of each document applies.
At contract signing, the Environmental Design and Test Specification and Interface Control Documents from predecessor DigitalGlobe WorldView satellite programs listed below shall be considered the baseline release for WV-3. It is anticipated that the WV-3 versions of these documents will require few modifications from the predecessor baselines, with changes focused in a few key areas as driven by WV-3 unique requirements (for example enhanced Instrument thermal control and updated power values). The first release of the WV-3 version of each document shall supersede the predecessor version, which shall no longer be considered an Applicable Document.
Although the Satellite Integrating Contractor physically maintains many of these ICDs, their development is inherently a cooperative process. Accordingly, the latest released ICD revision shall always apply, where release is predicated on mutual agreement between all involved parties; for example the Instrument to Spacecraft ICD requires consensus between the Satellite Integrating Contractor, the Instrument Contractor, and DigitalGlobe.

Purpose. The purpose of the exchange of information between the parties is to enable the parties’ performance of the WorldView 3 Satellite System contract. This Agreement imposes no obligation upon either party to supply any Proprietary Information to the other party, and the parties will attempt to limit the scope of Proprietary Information exchanged hereunder, disclosing only what is necessary to accomplish the above-stated purpose.
2.  
Identification and Marking of Proprietary Information. As used in this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” means the whole or any portion or phase of any scientific or technical information, not limited to all pricing, design, process, procedure, formula, or improvement; confidential business or financial information; listing of names, addresses, or telephone numbers; or other information that is: (i) reduced to writing or other documentary form or other tangible medium of expression, whether in human readable or machine readable form, and is identified as Proprietary Information with an appropriate legend; (ii) obtained through verbal or visual disclosure or inspection of apparatus or processes, provided that such information is specifically identified by the Disclosing Party as being proprietary and is subsequently confirmed by a written document, which may be delivered in physical form or via e-mail or similar electronic medium, within thirty (30) days after its initial disclosure; or (iii) derived by the Receiving Party from any of the foregoing. No written document or other material will be designated as Proprietary Information that is not, in good faith, believed to contain proprietary data or information.
3.  
Exceptions to Proprietary Information. Proprietary Information shall not include information that:
  a)  
is publicly known at the time of disclosure under this Agreement, or becomes publicly known after disclosure without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party;
  b)  
prior to disclosure under this Agreement was already in the possession of the Receiving Party as established by documentary evidence dated prior to the date of disclosure;
  c)  
after disclosure under this Agreement is obtained from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and not subject to a confidentiality obligation with respect to said information, or
  d)  
is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without use of or recourse to the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party.
The fact that individual elements of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information may come within the above exceptions shall not relieve the Receiving Party of its obligations hereunder unless all elements and their specific combinations disclosed in such Proprietary Information come within the above exceptions.

 

 


 

4.  
Disclosure Period and Duration of Confidentiality Obligation. Proprietary Information may be disclosed hereunder for a period of [**Redacted**] from the Effective Date. Either party may, upon the provision of thirty (30) days written notice, inform the other party that it is terminating this Agreement prior to the expiration of the disclosure period set forth above. However, termination of this Agreement shall not affect the rights and obligations of either party with respect to Proprietary Information disclosed hereunder prior to termination. Each party’s obligations not to disclose or use Proprietary Information shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following events: (1) [**Redacted**] elapse from the date of the last disclosure of Proprietary Information hereunder, or (2) when all Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party comes within the exceptions set forth in paragraph 3.
5.  
Limitations on Use and Disclosure. The Receiving Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party: (i) use Proprietary Information other than for the purpose specified above and then only for the benefit of the Disclosing Party or (ii) disclose Proprietary Information to persons, including the U.S. Government or related organizations except as provided for herein, other than the Receiving Party’s employees who have a need to know such Proprietary Information in order to carry out the purpose set forth above and who have entered into agreements which obligate them not to use or disclose Proprietary Information received from third parties.
6.  
Copying and Reverse Engineering Prohibited. The Receiving Party shall not reproduce or make copies, models, or replicas of the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party in addition to those provided without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except and only to the extent that reproduction or copying is required to accomplish the purpose contemplated by this Agreement. All such authorized copies made shall be marked as Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party. In the event Proprietary Information is furnished in the form of tangible property, such as sample product, or computer software, the Receiving Party agrees not to analyze, decompile, disassemble, decode, redesign, reverse engineer, or otherwise reproduce such tangible property or computer software, or attempt to do so, or permit a third party to take possession of such property or software.
7.  
Marking of Derivative Proprietary Information. The Receiving Party shall mark all notes, translations, and other documents prepared by it that incorporate all or any portion of the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party with a legend identifying such notes, translations, and documents as containing Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party.
8.  
Ownership of Modifications and Improvements to Proprietary Information. The parties agree that all modifications and improvements to the subject matter of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information conceived during the course of discussions hereunder shall be owned by the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party hereby assigns to the Disclosing Party all right, title, and interest it may have in such modifications and improvements and agrees to promptly execute all documents required to evidence the Disclosing Party’s legal ownership thereof. All modifications and improvements covered by this paragraph shall also be considered Proprietary Information hereunder.
9.  
Acknowledgement of Potential Future Competition. Each party understands and acknowledges that the other party may concurrently, or in the future, be internally developing information that may be similar to the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information. Accordingly, provided the Receiving Party complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall not be precluded from developing products, processes, services, or computer software for itself or others that may compete with the products, processes, services, or computer software contemplated by the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information.
10.  
Limited Effect of Agreement. No license or conveyance of any rights under any discoveries, inventions, patents, copyrights (published or unpublished), trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights of the Disclosing Party are granted to the Receiving Party, or implied by this Agreement or the exchange of Proprietary Information between the parties. Nothing in this Agreement or the course of dealings between the parties shall be construed to obligate either party to purchase any goods or services from the other party, or obligate either party to sell goods or services to the other party. This Agreement is not intended to constitute, create, or give effect to a joint venture, partnership, or formal business entity of any kind. Nothing herein shall be construed as providing for the sharing of profits or losses between the parties. Each party shall act as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the other party for any purpose whatsoever, and neither shall have any authority to bind the other, except as specifically set forth herein.

The Receiving Party shall also return or destroy all other documents containing any portion of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information, as well as all notes, summaries, translations, abstracts, and synopses thereof or relating thereto. Return or destruction of Proprietary Information pursuant to this paragraph shall not act to relieve either party of its obligations regarding disclosure or use set forth herein.
13.  
Duty of Care Required. Each party shall protect and preserve the confidentiality of Proprietary Information disclosed hereunder using the same degree of care that it uses in protecting its own Proprietary Information, but not less than the degree of care that would be used by a reasonable and prudent business person. Neither party shall be liable in damages for inadvertent disclosure of Proprietary Information received hereunder as long as the above-described standard of care has been exercised in its handling, and provided that the Receiving Party shall, upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary Information by its organization, promptly notify the Disclosing Party and endeavor to prevent any further unauthorized use or disclosure. In the event Proprietary Information of a third party is disclosed hereunder, the Disclosing Party represents that it is authorized to make the disclosure, and the Receiving Party agrees to treat such Proprietary Information in the manner specified for treatment of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information.
14.  
Compelled Disclosure. In the event the Receiving Party is directed to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information by a court order or other governmental action, it shall: (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the court order or governmental action to provide the Disclosing Party with a reasonable opportunity to protect its Proprietary Information; (ii) at the request and sole expense of the Disclosing Party, cooperate reasonably with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to contest or limit the scope of such order or action; and (iii) limit any disclosure to the minimum that will comply with such order or action.

15.  
Requirements for Disclosure to U.S. Government. Proprietary Information may be disclosed to the U.S. Government by the Receiving Party only if: (i) the purpose set forth in Paragraph 1 above requires the disclosure; (ii) the Disclosing Party consents to the disclosure; (iii) the Receiving Party identifies the Proprietary Information at the time of disclosure as the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party; and (iv) the Receiving Party marks the Proprietary Information strictly in accordance with the applicable requirements of Parts 15 and 27, and the relevant Part 52 solicitation provisions and contract clauses, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and/or any applicable, parallel requirements contained in any pertinent agency FAR supplement.
16.  
Export Control Limitations. The Receiving Party shall not export (including sending or taking out of the U.S. and disclosing or providing access to a “foreign person” as defined in 22 CFR 120.16, located anywhere) any technical information furnished by the Disclosing Party without first complying with all requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations, including the requirement for obtaining an export license, if applicable. The Receiving Party shall first obtain the written consent of the Disclosing Party prior to submitting any request for authority to export any such technical information. The Receiving Party shall defend, indemnify, and hold the Disclosing Party harmless from all claims, demands, damages, costs, fines, penalties, attorney’s fees, and other expenses and costs arising from its failure to comply with this paragraph, or any applicable U.S. export control statutes or regulations.
17.  
Handling of Classified Material. Any U.S. government classified documents or information disclosed hereunder shall be handled in accordance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) [**Redacted**], its supplements, and other applicable U.S. government security statutes and regulations.
18.  
Assignment. Neither this Agreement, nor the rights conferred and obligations imposed hereunder, may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party.
19.  
Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. NEITHER PARTY GRANTS ANY WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE, OR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISCLOSED INFORMATION, EITHER EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.. Neither party provides any warranty or guarantee that the other party’s use of Proprietary Information received under this Agreement will be free from claims by nonparties for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights. No right of use is warranted by either party by the furnishing of Proprietary Information hereunder, and neither party provides any warranty or guarantee that its Proprietary Information is complete, accurate, or free from defects.
20.  
Availability of Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that: (i) Proprietary Information of the other party may be disclosed hereunder on a confidential basis; (ii) any unauthorized use or release of Proprietary Information will allow the Receiving Party or third parties to unfairly compete with the Disclosing Party causing irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party; and (iii) due to the unique nature of the Proprietary Information, an award of monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for its improper use or disclosure. Therefore, each party agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any material provision of this Agreement, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to enforce such provision through appropriate injunctive relief: (i) without the necessity of proving that it has incurred losses or suffered damages from the breach, (ii) without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, and (iii) in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law, such as an award of monetary damages (if properly proven), or in equity, such as specific performance.
21.  
Waiver. The waiver of any provision of this Agreement by either Party or the failure of either Party to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to insist on strict contractual performance at some other time. The waiver by either Party of any right created by this Agreement in one or more instances shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of such right or any other right created by this Agreement.
22.  
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any provision hereof is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity, legality, and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions or portions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall nevertheless continue to be binding on the parties. Any such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such provision within the limits of applicable law.

 

 


 

23.  
Paragraph Headings. Paragraph headings are inserted for reference purposes and convenience of use only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Colorado.
25.  
Modification and Execution Procedure. No change, modification, alteration, or addition to any provision shall be binding unless in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts (including faxed copies), each of which shall be deemed one and the same original document.
26.  
Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall apply in lieu of and notwithstanding the contents of any specific legend or statement associated with any particular information or material exchanged. The duties of the parties shall be determined exclusively by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which constitutes the complete understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any previous oral or written agreement with respect thereto.
