WorldView-4 Satellite Imagery
WorldView-4 offers multispectral, high-resolution commercial satellite imagery from the Maxar imagery archive. WorldView-4 is retired from the Maxar constellation, but it provides archive imagery at 31 cm panchromatic resolution and 1.23 meter multispectral resolution.
Features and benefits
Very high-resolution - Panchromatic 31 cm - Visible & near-infrared 1.24 m
Industry-leading geolocation accuracy
High capacity in various collection modes
Bi-directional scanning
Rapid retargeting using Control Moment Gyros (>2x faster than any competitor)
Direct Access tasking from and image transmission to customer sites
Simultaneous, high resolution, super-spectral imagery
Large area mono and stereoscopic collection eliminates temporal variations
Precision geolocation possible without ground control points
Global capacity of 680,000 sq km per day, which doubled Maxar's 30 cm collection capability and the ability to collect for large-area mapping projects at the highest commercially available resolution
