Maxar’s Next-Generation Earth Imaging Satellites: WorldView Legion

Maxar Technologies, a leading provider of Earth imagery and intelligence, is set to revolutionize the satellite imaging industry with its next generation of Earth imaging satellites – WorldView Legion. This constellation of satellites will be comprised of six 30cm resolution satellites designed to provide organizations with highly accurate and up-to-date satellite imagery. The ability of WorldView Legion to revisit a target area up to 15 times per day will provide organizations with near real-time information that is crucial to making informed decisions. And with the capacity to collect an astonishing 5 million square kilometers per day of satellite imagery, organizations will have a comprehensive view of the Earth like never before. Whether it is monitoring crops and wildlife, predicting natural disasters, or tracking the impact of human activities, WorldView Legion will provide organizations with the information they need to move forward with confidence.
