The DigitalGlobe Constellation

The DigitalGlobe constellation of high-resolution satellites offers incredible accuracy, agility and collection capacity, imaging more of the world in the finest level of detail. This constellation is unprecedented in the industry, enabling customers around the globe to get the truest view of the world.

Greatest Collection Capacity

The DigitalGlobe constellation today collects over 700 million sqkm of high-resolution imagery per year— building and refreshing the most comprehensive and up-to-date high-resolution imagery library in the world as well as offering tremendous tasking capacity. WorldView-2 more than tripled our multispectral collection capacity, brought intraday revisit, and added 8-band capability. WorldView-3, planned for launch 2014, will further increase the collection and double the 8-band capacity.

High Performance and Flexibility






  WorldView-2

WorldView-2 is the world’s first commercial 8-band high-resolution satellite collecting at 0.46 meter* GSD pan and 1.84 meter* multi-spectral. Offering incredible agility & collection capacity it captures half-meter panchromatic resolution and 2 meter multispectral resolution across 8 spectral bands.

  WorldView-1

WorldView-1 is a high-capacity, panchromatic imaging system which features half-meter resolution imagery. Operating at an altitude of 496 kilometers it has an average revisit time of 1.7 days and is capable of collecting up to 750,000 square kilometers per day of half-meter imagery. The satellite is also equipped with state-of-the-art geolocation accuracy capabilities and exhibits stunning agility with rapid targeting and efficient in-track stereo collection.

  QuickBird

The QuickBird satellite offers highly accurate, commercial high-resolution imagery of Earth. QuickBird’s global collection of high resolution panchromatic and multispectral imagery is designed to support applications ranging from map publishing and land and asset management to insurance risk assessment. Its large swath width, combined with ample on-board storage, and geolocational accuracy allow it to efficiently and accurately image large areas of the globe.

  WorldView-3




WorldView-3, launching in 2014, is DigitalGlobe´s second high-resolution 8-band multispectral commercial satellite. Operating at an altitude of 620 kilometers, WorldView-3 provides 31 cm* panchromatic resolution and 1.24 meter* multispectral resolution. WorldView-3 has an average revisit time of 1.1 days and is capable of collecting up to 676,000 square kilometers per day, further enhancing the DigitalGlobe multispectral collection capacity for more rapid and reliable collection.
