QUICKBIRD
DigitalGlobe’s
QuickBird satellite is able to offer sub-meter resolution imagery,
high geolocational accuracy, and large on-board data storage. The
QuickBird spacecraft is capable of acquiring over 75 million km2
of imagery data annually (over three times the size of North America).
The QuickBird satellite collects both multi-spectral
(at 2.4 meter resolution) and panchromatic (at 61 cm resolution)
imagery concurrently. 70 cm Pan-sharpened composite products in
natural or false infrared colors can be obtained as well.
altitude: 450 km
inclination: 98 degrees
orbit: sun-synchronous polar
orbit period: 98 minutes
revisit time: 1-3.5 days
swath width: 16.5 km
