The next evolution of Maxar’s industry-leading constellation, WorldView Legion is a fleet of high-performance satellites that will dramatically expand our ability to revisit the most rapidly changing areas on Earth to better inform critical, time-sensitive decisions.

The next evolution of Maxar’s industry-leading constellation, WorldView Legion is a fleet of high-performance satellites that will dramatically expand our ability to revisit the most rapidly changing areas on Earth to better inform critical, time-sensitive decisions.

Sep 11, 2024 · WorldView Legion is a high resolution electro-optical imaging satellite constellation owned and operated by the US-based commercial company Maxar Space Systems. Maxar began planning the constellation in 2017 to provide continuity to the company’s provision of high resolution satellite imagery.

WorldView Legion is an Earth observation satellite constellation currently under development by Maxar. Launch services have been contracted to SpaceX. The first two satellites were launched on May 2nd, 2024. WorldView Legion is owned and operated by Maxar Technologies. [1]

2 days ago · In addition to increasing collection capacity, the WorldView Legion satellites enhance the capabilities of Maxar’s industry-leading constellation by: Powering dawn-to-dusk image collection, with satellites in mid-inclination orbit and sun-synchronous orbit.

1 day ago · Maxar said the company’s network of six WorldView Legions will enhance Earth observation capabilities with satellites positioned in both mid-inclination and sun-synchronous orbits.

Aug 1, 2024 · Maxar plans to launch all six WorldView Legion satellites by the end of the year, which will more than double the size of its constellation from four to 10 satellites. By growing the constellation and expanding into MIO, Maxar will achieve near real-time monitoring and dramatically reduce the sensor-to-decision timeline for end users.

Nov 18, 2024 · Our new WorldView Legion satellites are raising the bar by tripling our 30 cm-class capacity and increasing our revisit rate to up to 15 times per day in high-demand areas when all six satellites join the Maxar constellation.
