Circling 300 miles above the planet in polar orbit, ringing around Earth once every 95 minutes, the commercial Earth-imaging satellite WORLDVIEW-1 will offer a clarity not possible by any civilian satellite in orbit today. Despite the lofty perch in space, the satellite's remarkable vision can see objects on the ground as small as 20 inches across. And its advanced picture-taking sensor package can produce such images with half-meter resolution covering 290,000 square miles of the planet's surface per day.
