What is WorldView Legion?
WorldView Legion is a fleet of high-performance satellites that dramatically expands our ability to revisit the most rapidly changing areas on Earth to better inform critical, time-sensitive decisions.
What is the smallest image size the GeoEye-1 can record?
GeoEye-1 sensor is the most advanced sensor in the civil sector being able to take images with spatial resolution of 0.41 m in panchromatic and 1.65 m in multispectral (Fig. 4).
What is the lifespan of WorldView-1 and WorldView-2?
WorldView-1 will be extended by 2.5 years to 13 years, a 24% lifespan improvement, and WorldView-2 will be extended two years to 13 years, an 18% lifespan improvement. 12) 13) – WorldView-1, which was originally expected to reach its end of life in the second quarter of 2018, is now expected to reach end of life in the fourth quarter of 2020.
What is the resolution of WorldView-2 images?
WorldView-2 provides commercially available panchromatic imagery of 0.46 m resolution, and eight-band multispectral imagery with 1.84 m resolution – representing one of the highest available spaceborne resolutions on the market. WorldView-2 Instruments WorldView-110 camera (WV110)

Launch: A launch of the WorldView-1 spacecraft took place on Sept. 18, 2007 on a Delta-2920 vehicle from VAFB, CA. 7) 8) Orbit: Sun-synchronous circular orbit, altitude = 496 km (nominal), inclination = 97.2º. The equator crossing time is at 10:30 hours on a descending node. The period is 94.6 minutes.
What is the worldview mission?
The WorldView mission is intended to provide imaging services to NGA as well as to the commercial customer base of DigitalGlobe. BATC (Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation) of Boulder, CO, is the prime contractor and integrator of the spacecraft, providing the S/C bus (Ball Commercial Platform BCP-5000) and a WorldView-60 camera.
