WorldView-1 satellite sensor was successfully launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, U.S.A., at 11:35 Hrs Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on September 18th, 2007. Watch video of WorldView-1 satellite launch. The WorldView-1 offers a high-capacity, panchromatic imaging system which features 0.50m resolution imagery.

VANTOR’s WorldView-2 satellite sensor, launched October 8, 2009, provides 0.46m panchromatic (B&W) mono and stereo satellite image data.
The WorldView-2 sensor provides a high-resolution panchromatic band and eight (8) multispectral bands; four (4) standard colors (red, green, blue, and near-infrared 1) and four (4) new bands (coastal, yellow, red edge, and near-infrared 2), full-color images for enhanced spectral analysis, mineral mapping, wildlife monitoring, land-use planning, disaster relief, defense, and climate change.

AIRBUS Defence & Space Pleiades-1A satellite sensor was successfully launched on December 16, 2011, and provides 0.5m high resolution satellite image data. Watch video of Pleiades-1A satellite launch.
The Pleiades-1A satellite is capable of providing orthorectified color data at 0.5-meter resolution (roughly comparable to GeoEye-1) and revisiting any point on Earth as it covers a total of 1 million square kilometers (approximately 386,102 square miles) daily. Perhaps most importantly, Pleiades-1A is capable of acquiring high-resolution stereo imagery in just one pass and can accommodate large areas (up to 1,000 km x 1,000 km).
(0.65m) - Decommissioned
VANTOR’s QuickBird satellite sensor was successfully launched on October 18, 2001, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, USA.
Using a state-of-the-art BGIS 2000 sensor (PDF), QuickBird satellite collected image data to 0.65m pixel resolution degree of detail. This satellite was an excellent source of environmental data useful for analyses of changes in land usage, agriculture, and forest climates. QuickBird’s imaging capabilities had applied to a host of industries, including oil and gas exploration and production (E&P), engineering and construction and environmental studies.
(0.80m) - Decommissioned
The IKONOS satellite sensor was successfully launched as the first commercially available high-resolution satellite sensor on September 24, 1999, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, USA. The IKONOS satellite sensor was decommissioned by DigitalGlobe on March 31, 2015.
(2.5m/5m) - Decommissioned
The SPOT-5 satellite sensor has been decommissioned as of March 31, 2015. SPOT-5 was successfully placed into orbit by an Ariane 4 from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou during the night of 3 to 4 May 2002. Archived SPOT-5 Satellite Imagery will remain available.
(1.5m)
SPOT-6 satellite sensor built by AIRBUS Defence & Space was successfully launched on September 9, 2012, by a PSLV launcher from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in India. Watch video of SPOT-6 the satellite launch.

The five (5) RapidEye satellite sensors were successfully launched from the DNEPR-1 Rocket on August 29th, 2008, at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. RapidEye was built by MacDonald Dettwiler, Ltd. (MDA) and will offer customers a data source containing an unrivaled combination of large-area coverage, frequent revisit intervals, high-resolution, and multispectral capabilities.
After 12 years of operation, Planet decommissioned the RapidEye EO satellite constellation in April 2020.

ASTER satellite sensor is one of the five state-of-the-art instrument sensor systems on-board the Terra satellite that was launched on December 18, 1999, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, USA.
ASTER is a 15-meter, 14 band multispectral resolution instrument. It can be used for land cover and change detection, calibration, validation, and land surface studies.

The Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite sensor was successfully launched from the Vandenburg Air Force Base on April 15, 1999. Landsat 7 satellite is equipped with Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), the successor of TM. The observation bands are essentially the same seven bands as TM, and the newly added panchromatic band 8, with a high resolution of 15-meters was added. An instrument malfunction occurred on May 31, 2003, with the result that all Landsat 7 scenes acquired since July 14, 2003, have been collected in “SLC-off” mode.
(0.5m)
The GeoEye-1 satellite sensor was successfully launched on September 6, 2008. The satellite, which was launched at Vanderberg Air Force Base, California, provides a resolution of 0.46-meters. Watch a video of GeoEye-1 satellite launch. GeoEye-1 is capable of acquiring image data at 0.50-meter panchromatic (B&W) and 1.84-meter multispectral resolution. It also features a revisit time of fewer than three days, as well as the ability to locate an object within just three meters of its physical location.
