    About

    WorldView-3, operated by Maxar Technologies, is an advanced Earth observation satellite offering a range of capabilities for various industries. Launched in 2014, it provides high-resolution multispectral imaging, including a unique set of 16 spectral bands. WorldView-3’s exceptional image quality, spatial resolution, and spectral diversity make it a valuable asset for industries such as mining, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and urban planning, where precise and detailed geospatial information is essential.

    Features and Benefits
    • Captures high-resolution optical imaging data, providing detailed and accurate visual representation of the Earth’s surface for precise analysis and interpretation.
    • Equipped with 16 spectral bands, including the traditional RGB (Red, Green, Blue) bands and additional bands in the Red Edge, Near-Infrared, and Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) regions. This spectral diversity enables advanced analysis, including land cover classification, vegetation health assessment, and identification of specific materials or features.
    • The SWIR bands in WorldView-3’s spectral range offer unique advantages, particularly for geological applications and mineral exploration. The SWIR bands allow for enhanced discrimination and identification of minerals, alteration zones, and geological structures, making it a valuable tool for mining and geological studies.
    • Delivers exceptional image quality with sharp and clear imagery, providing precise details for various applications such as infrastructure monitoring, change detection, and environmental analysis.
    • Wide swath width and the capability to revisit locations multiple times within a day ensure extensive coverage and timely monitoring of dynamic events, supporting near real-time analysis and decision-making.
