WorldView-3: Ready for Launch

WorldView-3, the world’s first multi-payload, super-spectral, high-resolution commercial satellite for earth observations and advanced geospatial solutions, will launch into orbit on Aug. 13 aboard an Atlas rocket. Operating at an expected altitude of 617 km, WorldView-3 will have an average revisit time of less than one day and will be capable of collecting up to 680,000 square kilometers of imagery per day. Its data-rich imagery will discover new sources of minerals and fuels, manage forests and farms, and accelerate DigitalGlobe’s exploitation of Geospatial Big Data™ – a living digital inventory of the surface of the earth.

I just hope the new f-35 is a success, best of luck

[stacy]

how much would it cost me to have them build and launch me a satellite ? I want one that points  at the edge of space to look for UFO's.

Too bad everything I have seen is low rez. Only when keyhole first went commercial a few images around the globe were hi rez and it was fun to gawk and the quality and detial but as of now its just crap to the general public who look at it for free.
