Summary ​
WVL5 (WorldView-Legion Camera) is an operational multispectral instrument operated by Vantor on WorldView Legion-5. It is associated with a satellite platform and has private data availability.
NOTE
The nominal band intervals and nadir ground sample distances follow the current Vantor WorldView Legion datasheet at 518 km altitude, which supersedes prelaunch values quoted for a 450 km orbit. Band identifiers use the channel names published in the datasheet, with separators normalized to underscores. No authoritative tabular spectral response samples were found.
