|
|
OrbView-3 satellite is among the world's first commercial satellites to provide high-resolution imagery from space. OrbView-3 produces one-meter resolution panchromatic and four-meter resolution multispectral imagery with a swath width of 8 km.
- The satellite revisits each location on Earth in less than three days with an ability to turn from side-to-side up to 45 degrees.
- OrbView-3 imagery can be downlinked in real-time to ground stations located around the world or stored on-board the spacecraft and downlinked to ORBIMAGE's master U.S. ground stations.
- To access OrbView-3 imagery, customers can either purchase imagery from distributors, or order individual images from ORBIMAGE or its online data store, located at http://www.orbimage.com/.
- OrbView-3 provides imagery useful for a variety of applications such as telecommunications and utilities, oil and gas, mapping and surveying, agriculture and forestry, and national security.
