Launched in October 2009, WorldView-2 is the first Very High Resolution 8-band multispectural commercial satellite. Operating at an altitude of 770 km, WorldView-2 incorporates industry-leading geolocation accuracy and is able to geolocate to less than 5 m to create maps in remote areas, thereby maximizing the utility of available resources. Multispectral resolution imagery is acquired by use of bi-directional scanning and rapid retargeting using Control Moment Gyros – more than two times faster than any competitor. COLLECTION CAPACITY Ability to image 1,000,000 km² daily with a 1.1 day revisit rate at 1 m GSD or less.
