Will The Resolution And Image Clarity From WorldView-3 Change The Game For Satellite-Based Earth Observation?

There have been many years of anticipation for high-resolution satellite imagery that can rival the image clarity and sensing capacity of airborne platforms. This wait has now culminated with both capacity, thanks to the advancements aboard DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-3 satellite, as well as eased regulations.
