The collection is open for research and application development, prototype and test projects to users located in the territory of ESA Member States and ESA Cooperating/Associate States.

Data are available to order on demand upon submission of a Project Proposal subject to evaluation and acceptance by ESA and the data owner.

ESA will support as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limit available, therefore only a limited amount of products can be allowed to each project.

Availability and restrictions to the use of the data are described in the Terms of Applicability document.

If you need help with the proposal form, consult this guide on how to access data requiring a project proposal.

The list of available archived data can be retrieved using the Image Library catalogue.

For further information about the EO Sign In Service you can visit TellUs.

Should you need support to prepare your proposal or access the data, please contact EOHelp.

Collection Description

WorldView-1 high resolution optical products are available as part of the Maxar Standard Satellite Imagery products from the QuickBird, WorldView-1/-2/-3/-4, and GeoEye-1 satellites. All details about the data provision, data access conditions and quota assignment procedure are described into the Terms of Applicability available in Resources section.

In particular, WorldView-1 offers archive and tasking panchromatic products up to 0.50 m GSD resolution.

Band CombinationData Processing LevelResolution
PanchromaticStandard(2A)/View Ready STANDARD (OR2A)50 cm, 30 cm HD
View Ready Stereo50 cm
Map-Ready (Ortho) 1:12.000 Orthorectified50 cm, 30 cm HD

 

Native 50 cm resolution products are processed with MAXAR HD Technology to generate the 30 cm HD products: the initial special resolution (GSD) is unchanged but the HD technique increases the number of pixels and improves the visual clarity achieving aesthetically refined imagery with precise edges and well reconstructed details.

As per ESA policy, very high-resolution imagery of conflict areas cannot be provided.
