WorldView-2 50cm Global High-Resolution Satellite Imagery

The WorldView-2 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).
