30 cm Resolution Imaging
European Space Imaging currently has access to two satellites - WorldView-3 and
WorldView-4 - capable of delivering 30 cm very high resolution imagery. WorldView-3
has an average revisit time higher than once a day and is capable of collecting up to
680,000 km2 per day. WorldView-4 operates in co-ordination with WorldView-3 and
combined they are able to image a location an average of 4.5 times a day at 1 m ground
sample distance or less.

Utilzing WorldView-3 and WorldView-4 satellites, European Space Imaging is capable
