WorldView-2 was successfully deployed within a
prescribed orbit and delivered to DigitalGlobe by United
Space Alliance using a Boeing Delta II rocket launched
from Vandenberg AFB in California.

Key
Features [go back to
top]
WorldView-2 is the first
commercial satellite to record eight bands of
multi-spectral imagery with a sub-meter spatial
resolution. This
improves ...
- the type and size of resolvable land
cover features,
- and thematic
classification accuracy and
resolution.
Additionally, whether
recording in either stereo or
mono modes, WorldView-2
offers advances in: positioning
accuracy, targeting agility, and overall
production volume.
