From the CEO:
"The successful launch of WorldView-2 is an important milestone for the industry
and for DigitalGlobe," said Jill Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of
DigitalGlobe. "Once commissioned, WorldView-2 will effectively double
DigitalGlobe's collection capacity, enabling us to provide at least annually
updated coverage of the world as well as intra-day revisit for more rapid and
reliable collection for our customers. Additionally, WorldView-2's eight
spectral bands will significantly enhance our ability to meet our customers'
needs for feature identification, change, detection, and other high-value
services."
As the most recent of the next-generation WorldView-class satellites,
WorldView-2 features advanced agility and accuracy, industry-leading capacity,
and eight-band multispectral imagery. WorldView-2 will collect multispectral
imagery at 1.8 meter resolution and panchromatic imagery at .46 meters.(1) The
additional band capability supports improved levels of feature identification
and extraction and more accurately reflects the world's natural color.
The satellite was built by Ball Aerospace (NYSE: BLL) and the imaging sensor was
provided by ITT Corporation's (NYSE: ITT) Space Systems Division.
