WorldView-1

Instrument IDWV60_WV1
satellite platform

Summary ​

WV60_WV1 (WorldView-60 Camera) is an operational other instrument operated by Vantor on WorldView-1. It is associated with a satellite platform and has private data availability.

NOTE

WV60 is a panchromatic-only pushbroom camera. Its nominal band interval, nadir ground sample distance, and swath width follow the current Vantor WorldView-1 datasheet. The datasheet does not provide a tabular spectral response function.
