DigitalGlobe WorldView-2: High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
WorldView-2, the world’s newest high-resolution commercial color imaging satellite, was launched on October 8, 2009 from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California. WorldView-2 is the first high-resolution satellite with 8-Multispectral imaging bands. WorldView-2 will simultaneously collect Panchromatic imagery at 0.46m and Multispectral imagery at 1.84m. Due to U.S. Government Licensing, the imagery will be made available commercially as 0.5m imagery. WorldView-2 is capable of collecting up to 975,000 square kilometers of imagery per day (376,000 square miles). To start your search for available WorldView-2 imagery, select the "get a quote" tab.
