WorldView-3 from Maxar

In addition to providing the highest resolution imagery commercially available, this WorldView sensor also captures 29 multispectral bands – which is far more than any other sensor on the market. The range in multispectral data makes WorldView-3 imagery a great option for all different types of uses, from vegetation analysis and bathymetric studies, to mineral identification and geological studies. The introduction of the 7.5 meter resolution short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands offers a more in-depth analysis. These bands provide a better contrast between rocks and soil, penetrate cloud cover, and identify moisture content of soil and vegetation.

Resolution: 0.3 m panchromatic, 1.5 m multispectral, 7.5 m SWIR 
Band: Panchromatic; 8 multispectral bands (Red, Green, Blue, Red Edge, Coastal, Yellow & 2 NIR), 8 SWIR bands, CAVIS bands 
Projection: UTM, Lat/Long, State Plane 
Datum: NAD 83, WGS 84

GeoEye-1 from Maxar

With the launch of the GeoEye-1 satellite in September 2008, the world's most advanced, highest-resolution imagery products became available. This became the first sensor with 2-meter or better resolution for multispectral data and up to .4-meter resolution for the panchromatic band. Just like the WorldView-1 sensor, this is a great option for those needing both historical imagery and stereo-pair data.

Resolution: 0.5 m panchromatic, 2 m multispectral 
Band: Panchromatic; 4 multispectral bands (Red, Green, Blue & NIR)

KOMPSAT from Satrec Initiative (SI)

The addition of KOMPSAT-2, 3 and 3A to the L3Harris imagery archives, increases the vast amount of data options available for customers. Images available dating back to 2006, providing a great source of historical data, especially of countries in Asia. These sensors collect imagery at .7-meter and 1-meter resolutions, with the typical RGB & NIR bands offered as well. KOMPSAT-5 is the first South Korean satellite designed with a X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) payload and it became operational in early 2014. KOMPSAT-5 operates at Dawn-Dusk orbit between an altitude of 500 km to 600 km. Because it is a SAR sensor, it can operate in all weather and lighting conditions. The main function of KOMPSAT-5 is to deliver high-resolution SAR images of 1-meter resolution, though 3-meter and 20-meter resolution are available covering larger areas as well. This is a very beneficial sensor to use to obtain data in areas of frequent cloud cover or areas in very high latitude, where optical sensors cannot.

Resolution: 0.55 m panchromatic, 2.2 m multispectral, 5 m infrared 
Band: Panchromatic; 5 multispectral bands (Red, Green, Blue, IR & NIR) 
Projection: UTM, Lat/Long, State Plane

TerraSAR-X from Airbus Defence and Space

Launched in June 2007 and July 2010 respectively, TerraSAR-X 9is a high-resolution radar satellite that capture data of the Earth’s surface despite any unfavorable cloud-cover or lighting conditions.

The satellites are able to gather data in the middle of the night and through the most dense cloud cover. The data from these satellites is ideal for movement tracking, ground subsidence, watercraft monitoring, construction monitoring and any other form of physical change detection. TerraSAR-X can be used to track details as small as vehicles or aircraft. Land use mapping and other classification projections also benefit from these data sets.

Airbus Defence and Space Services offers an extensive portfolio of high-quality TerraSAR-X data products of different modes and processing levels depending on the intended utilization. TerraSAR-X was specifically designed to meet the requirements of commercial users around the globe and is optimized to deliver data for a wide range of sophisticated applications.
