CEOS EO HANDBOOK – INSTRUMENT SUMMARY - WorldView Legion Camera -
Full Name WorldView Legion Camera Status Operational
Instrument Agencies Maxar Maturity High Heritage - Non-Operational
Instrument Type High resolution optical imagers Geometry
Instrument Technology High resolution optical imager Sampling Imaging
Data Access Data Format
Measurements and Applications The imaging instruments onboard the WorldView Legion satellites will provide the highest resolution commercially available at the time of development: 0.29m. Their number and varying orbit types will allow frequent imaging (up to 15 times per day) over the most in-demand areas. This frequency and quality of images will provide meaningful insight into automated environmental sustainability, disaster response, and national security.
