WorldView-2

The WorldView-2 system offers industry-leading accuracy, agility, capacity and spectral diversity.

WorldView-2, launched October 2009, is the first high-resolution 8-band multispectral commercial satellite. Operating at an altitude of 770 kilometres, WorldView-2 acquires with 46 cm* panchromatic resolution and 1.84 metre* multispectral resolution. WorldView-2 has an average revisit time of 1.1 days and is capable of collecting up to 975,000 square kilometres per day.

Very high resolution

• 46 cm* panchromatic at nadir
• 52 cm at 20° off-nadir

The most spectral diversity commercially available

• 1.84 m* resolution at nadir
• 4 standard colors: blue, green, red, near-IR1
• 4 new colors: coastal, yellow, red edge, and near-IR2

Industry-leading geolocation accuracy

• High capacity over a broad range of collection types
• 16.4 km width imaging swath (wider than any competitor)
• Bi-directional scanning
• Rapid retargeting using Control Moment Gyros
• Single-pass stereo collection
• 2199 gigabits on-board storage
