Worldview-3

download fact sheet

WorldView-3 was launched on August 13, 2014 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Worldview-3 offers unsurpassed accuracy, agility, capacity and spectral diversity.

 

This satellite is similar to WorldView-2, however positioned in a lower orbit at 617km altitude. WorldView-3 was the first multi-payload, super-spectral, high-resolution commercial satellite featuring 16 multispectral bands, and the ability to capture imagery at 31cm resolution. Watch the launch here.

With the additional spectral bands (including CAVIS bands), WorldView-3 offers sixteen multispectral bands, providing unique opportunities for remote sensing analysis of vegetation, mapping, geology in oil & gas, bathymetry, disaster preparedness and response planning, land classification and many more applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Available as a 3 band, 4 band, 8 band or 16 band product.
  • Ability to capture imagery at 31cm resolution.
  • Precision geo-location possible without ground control points.
  • Superior haze penetration.
  • Bi-directional scanning.
  • Has a swath width of 13.1 km at nadir.
