Overview
WorldView Legion represents the next generation of Vantor's commercial Earth observation capabilities. This six-satellite constellation combines the proven imaging heritage of the WorldView platform with dramatically improved revisit rates, enabling multiple collections per day over any location on Earth.
Key Capabilities
The constellation features both sun-synchronous and mid-latitude orbit configurations. Four satellites operate in a 45-degree inclination mid-latitude orbit (MIO), providing distributed coverage throughout daytime hours. This innovative orbital design ensures rapid revisit for time-critical applications.
Applications
WorldView Legion's high-frequency revisit capability makes it ideal for:
- Change detection - Monitor construction progress, disaster response, and environmental changes
- Time-sensitive intelligence - Capture events as they unfold with multiple daily passes
- Precision agriculture - Track crop development throughout growing seasons
- Maritime monitoring - Identify and track vessels across shipping lanes
- Infrastructure monitoring - Regular assessment of critical assets and facilities
Archive and Tasking
Both archive imagery and new tasking are available through Terrabit. The constellation's high collection capacity ensures extensive archive coverage, while rapid retargeting enables responsive tasking for urgent requirements.
