Added spectral diversity provides the ability to perform precise change detection and mapping. These images supply unprecedented detail and geospatial accuracy, further expanding the applications for satellite imagery in both commercial and government markets. WorldView-2 operates at an altitude of 770 kilometers, and the advanced on-board imaging system can capture pan-sharpened, multispectral images (with better than 0.46-meter resolution) from almost 500 miles above the earth. The WorldView-2 imaging payload is the second such system engineered and manufactured by ITT Space Systems Division for MAXAR. The combination of WorldView-2’s increased agility and high altitude enables it to typically revisit any place on earth in 1.1 days, revisit time drops below one day and never exceeds two days, providing the most same-day passes of any commercial high resolution satellite. WorldView-2 alone can collect nearly 1 million km2 every day, doubling the collection capacity of our constellation to nearly 2 million km2 per day. With its improved agility, WorldView-2 can act like a paintbrush, sweeping back and forth to collect very large areas of multispectral imagery in a single pass. The WorldView-2 sensor provides a high-resolution panchromatic band and eight (8) multispectral bands four (4) standard colors (red, green, blue, and near-infrared 1) and four (4) new bands (coastal, yellow, red edge, and near-infrared 2), full-color images for enhanced spectral analysis, mineral mapping, wildlife monitoring, land-use planning, disaster relief, defense, and climate change.
