WorldView-3 is the first multi-payload, super-spectral, high-resolution commercial satellite.
Operating at an altitude of 617 km, WorldView-3 provides 31 cm panchromatic resolution, 1.24 m multispectral resolution, and 3.7 m short-wave infrared resolution.
WorldView-3 has an average revisit time of less than 1 day and is capable of collecting up to 680,000 km² per day, allowing for more rapid and reliable collection.
Application:
- mapping and updating of topographic and special maps as well as plans up to the scale 0f 1:2000;
- the creation of digital terrain models accurate to 1-3 m;
- inventory and control of construction of transport infrastructure as well as oil and gas production;
- forest management, inventory and forest condition assessment;
- inventory of agricultural land, creation of land-use planning, precision agriculture;
- update of topographic base for general construction plans for perspective urban development and territory planning schemes of municipalities;
- inventory and monitoring of transport, energy and communications;
- a wide range of tasks in the field of environmental protection.

* - In remote sensing, ground sample distance (GSD) in a digital photo (such as an orthophoto) of the ground from air or space is the distance between pixel centers measured on the ground. For example, in an image with a one-meter GSD, adjacent pixels image locations are 1 meter apart on the ground. GSD is a measure of one limitation to image resolution, that is, the limitation due to sampling: GSD = (ps*h)/f where ps - size of pixel, m; h - heigth of imaging, m; f - focal length, m.
