WorldView-2

DigitalGlobe™ successfully launched its WorldView-2 satellite on the Delta 7920 launch vehicle on October 8th, 2009.

WorldView-2 is the first high-resolution satellite to provide half-meter panchromatic resolution and 2 meter multispectral resolution across 8 spectral bands.

With the addition of 4 new spectral bands: Coastal Blue (400-450), Yellow (585-625), Red-Edge (705-745) and NearIR-2 (860-1040), WorldView-2 is delivering increases in classification accuracy.

With unprecedented agility and collection capacity, WorldView-2 joins the DigitalGlobe constellation to provide worldwide intraday revisit capabilities.
