Satellite imagery collection capacity per day

ONE UNIFIED CONSTELLATION

Our entire constellation—ten advanced Earth imaging satellites—functions as one cohesive system. Our intelligent scheduling system automatically selects the optimal satellite for your mission, eliminating complexity while maximizing collection success.

MORE COLLECTION OPPORTUNITIES

With four 30 cm satellites in mid-inclination orbit (MIO) complementing our six sun-synchronous orbit satellites, we provide unprecedented temporal coverage. These satellites can revisit the same location at different times throughout the day, helping you work around bad weather and significantly increasing your chances of getting the critical insight your mission needs.

INTELLIGENT TASKING SYSTEM

Our upgraded tasking system unifies our entire constellation to dramatically improve speed and reliability. The intelligent scheduling system automatically selects the optimal sensor for your collection, delivering critical insights in time-sensitive situations. With fulfillment rates now twice as good as last year, you can count on predictable results for mission-critical needs.

FLEXIBLE TASKING OPTIONS TO MEET YOUR MISSION NEEDS

SINGLE SHOT

HIGHEST PRIORITY IN QUEUE
1 TO 14 DAYS

Guaranteed collection on your specified date regardless of weather conditions. Ideal for time-sensitive missions when you need absolute certainty of collection.

SELECT PLUS

BALANCED FOR TIMELINESS + CLOUD-FREE
PRIORITY OVER SELECT IN QUEUE

Enhanced priority access that puts your collection ahead in the queue when competing for satellite passes, typically delivering imagery on accelerated timelines.

SELECT

OPTIMIZED FOR MAPPING
WEATHER-DEPENDENT TIMING

Tasking orders that optimize for weather conditions with cloud protection, ensuring you get clear imagery that meets your specifications.

NATIONAL
SECURITY

If you're monitoring adversarial activity, securing your borders or tracking illicit activity, timing and fine detail are everything. WorldView Tasking provides broader coverage at better resolution than any other commercial tasking offering, ensuring a much higher likelihood of collecting critical moments.
