Hi everyone, Digital Globe is launching an exciting new satellite this Fall, the WorldView-2. It promises to provide quite a bit more for thematic remote sensing than has ever been available before. Specifically: 0.5 meter panchromatic 1.8 meter multispectral Of that multispectral, it has EIGHT (yes you read that right, 8) bands including the traditional red, blue, green, and near-IR (770-895nm) plus red edge (705-745nm), yellow (585-625nm), coastal (which is blue edge 400-450nm), and a mid-IR band (860-1040nm). Spatial accuracy expected to be 6.5m uncorrected, 2.0m with GCP registration, and the satellite will revisit any spot on the Earth every 3.7 days. DG is hosting a webinar to discuss the new product, for that reason I have reserved conference room 105 from 1-2PM in the Cross Office Building in Augusta. I will have a PC and projector so we can do it as a group.
