download fact sheet

On the 8th October 2009, WorldView-2 by Maxar was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California and declared fully operational on the 6th of January 2010.

This satellite is capable of collecting up to 975,000 km² of imagery per day and offers unsurpassed accuracy, agility, capacity and spectral diversity. WorldView-2 is distinctive in that it captures high resolution imagery with eight spectral bands, as compared to the usual four band satellite range.

Features and Benefits

  • Increased spectral bands offer unique opportunities for remote sensing analysis of vegetation, coastal environments, agriculture, and geology to name a few.
  • Increased agility, accuracy and stereo capability.
  • Sub metre resolution with 8-band multispectral imagery.
  • Has a swath width of 16.4 km at nadir.
