WorldView-3 Level 1B Shortwave Infrared 8-Band Satellite Imagery

Published by NASA/CSDA | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: June 25, 2026 at 01:49 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 23, 2026
The WorldView-3 Level 1B Shortwave Infrared 8-Band Imagery collection contains satellite imagery acquired from Vantor, Inc. (formerly known as Maxar Technologies) by the Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. Imagery is collected by the WorldView-3 satellite using the WorldView-110 camera across the global land surface from August 2014 to the present. This data product includes 8 shortwave infrared bands. The spatial resolution is 3.7m at nadir and the temporal resolution is less than one day. The data are provided in National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) and GeoTIFF formats. This level 1B data is sensor corrected and is an un-projected (raw) product. The data potentially serve a wide variety of applications that require high resolution imagery. Data access is restricted based on a National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) license, and investigators must be approved by the CSDA Program.
