Eight-band (plus panchromatic) VNIR pushbroom imager on the WorldView-2 satellite, operated by Vantor (formerly Maxar Intelligence / DigitalGlobe). The WV110 instrument was built by ITT Corporation on a Ball Aerospace BCP-5000 spacecraft. Launched 8 October 2009. Panchromatic GSD 0.46 m at nadir (450-800 nm); 8-band multispectral GSD 1.84 m at nadir covering Coastal Blue through NIR2 (396-1043 nm). 16.4 km swath at nadir. The first commercial satellite sensor to offer 8-band multispectral imaging. Extended operational service since design life expired January 2017.
WorldView-2 Imager provides a panchromatic band and eight multispectral bands covering coastal blue through NIR2.[1][2]
The DigitalGlobe data sheet lists 0.46 m panchromatic ground sample distance, 1.84 m multispectral ground sample distance, and a 16.4 km nominal swath at nadir.[1]
ESA MAAP lists 1.85 m multispectral resolution for WorldView-2 archive and tasking products.[2]
JRC analyzed WorldView-2 stereo scenes and supports use of the sensor for vegetation-index mapping from its multispectral bands.[3]
