Nine-band (1 panchromatic + 8 multispectral) pushbroom imager carried on each of the six WorldView Legion satellites, operated by Vantor (formerly Maxar Intelligence). Developed by Maxar Space Systems (now Lanteris Space Systems) with sensor collaboration from Raytheon. Native GSD 0.29 m panchromatic and 0.48 m multispectral at nadir from a 450 km mid-inclination orbit. 9 km swath at nadir. Spectral coverage 400-920 nm across 8 VNIR multispectral bands plus panchromatic 450-800 nm. The constellation of six satellites enables up to 15 revisits per day above a 15-degree sun angle, representing a 30x improvement in collection capacity over prior single-satellite WorldView missions. Designated the Spaceview-NG (Next Generation Spaceview) imager in WMO OSCAR records. No published cross-calibration standard between individual constellation units.
WorldView Legion Imager is the optical imaging payload carried on WorldView Legion satellites, with a panchromatic channel and eight multispectral channels.[1][2][3]
WMO OSCAR identifies the instrument as Spaceview-NG and lists visible and near-infrared imaging bands for WorldView Legion-1.[2]
eoPortal lists 0.29 m native panchromatic resolution at 450 km altitude, while Geopera lists 0.34 m panchromatic product resolution for WorldView Legion imagery.[1][3]
Geopera lists 0.48 m multispectral resolution, 9 km swath width, and coastal, blue, green, yellow, red, red edge 1, red edge 2, and near-infrared multispectral bands.[3]
