Worldview-2

WorldView-2, launched on October 8 2009, is the first high-resolution 8-band multispectral commercial satellite. Operating at an altitude of 770 km, WorldView-2 provides 40 cm to 50 cm panchromatic resolution and 1.85 m multispectral resolution. WorldView-2 has an average revisit time of 1.1 days and is capable of collecting up to 1 million km square of 8-band imagery per day. The satellite geolocates features to less than 5 m.
