WorldView Legion Camera Instrument

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.
