The World’s Most Advanced Constellation

DigitalGlobe owns and operates the most agile and sophisticated constellation of high resolution commercial earth imaging satellites. QuickBird is the highest resolution multi-spectral and WorldView-1 is the most accurate and agile commercial satellite ever flown.

Our constellation features several technical advantages:

Highest available resolution which shows crisp details
Highest collection capacity to ensure a constant supply of current imagery
Highest geolocational accuracy for better alignment with vector maps
Largest single image collection delivers more consistent imagery with less need for patching together multiple data sources
Rapid targeting and in-track stereo for the most advanced imagery users
