Ball's Global Imaging System 2000 (BGIS 2000) is a high-resolution remote-sensing system that provides simultaneous one-meter class panchromatic and four-meter class multispectral imagery over a broad area. The BGIS 2000 is composed of two major Ball-produced systems: the Ball High Resolution Camera 60 (BHRC 60), an advanced pushbroom sensor; and the Ball Commercial Platform 2000 (BCP 2000), a highly capable spacecraft bus.

In addition to spacecraft platforms and cameras, Ball offers spacecraft-to-launch vehicle integration, launch and commissioning activities. Ground support consists of mission control centers, remote ground terminal stations, image processing analysis systems and the training to effectively operate both space and ground components as an integrated system.
