Digital Globe webinar June 10 COB 105 1-2PM

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.

Otherwise if you want to see this on your own check out http://dgl.us.neolane.net/res/dgl/survey/SVY438.jsp
