Maxar WorldView Legion Satellites: The Successful Launch & Its Impact on EO Applications in Europe
WorldView Legion satellites collect at 30 cm-class resolution, offer 8 spectral bands (some of which are different from WorldView-3), and increase Maxar’s imaging capacity to 6.6 million km2 a day. What are the specifications of the imagery? What technical innovations make the satellites smaller yet as powerful as their predecessors? And how does their unprecedented revisit rate transform critical sectors like defence and disaster response? Learn about the technical parameters and real-world applications of Maxar WorldView Legion in this article.
