WorldView-4 30cm Global High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
WorldView-4, having successfully launched on November 11, 2016 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, USA is the world’s second 30cm high-resolution commercial imaging satellite.
With an average revisit time of <1 day, the WorldView-4 satellite was capable of collecting up to 680,000 km2 of imagery per day. Due to failure of the control moment gyros WorldView-4 ceased new collections in January 2019, however its archive collection is still available.

WorldView-4’s first public image, taken on November 26, features the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Shibuya, Tokyo. The site hosted events during the 1964 Olympic Games and will again host international competition when the games return to Tokyo in 2020.
