OrbView-3
was launched on 26th June 2003 and is operated by ORBIMAGE
based in Virginia, USA.
The
satellite orbits the Earth at an altitude of 470 km
and collects 1m panchromatic and 4m multispectral data
over an 8km wide swath. Its ability to collect data
up to 50 degrees off nadir allows a revisit period of
3 days.
