Facts about sensor

The first EarlyBird satellite was launched by the

Russians in December 1997.

In October 2001 QuickBird 2 was successfully

placed into orbit with the capability of .61 meter

spatial resolution and 4 band (blue, green, red,

NIR) spectral resolution.

Both spatial and spectral resolutions are much

improved over the EarlyBird sensor. Temporal

resolution of the QuickBird is 1-4 days,

depending on latitude .

QuickBird VS Worldview1:

Worldview is :

1. Panchromatic;

2. More accurate

3. Better resolution (50 cm at nadir compared to

QuickBird 60 cm at nadir);

4. A wider swath (17.6 km at nadir compared to 16.5 km

QuickBird at nadir);

5. Do not have scenes identifier numbers, i.e. archived

data can be searched for and ordered by coordinates

of the regions of interest.
