TBD - SpaceX - Falcon 9 - WorldView Legion 1&2 - SLC-4E - Vandenberg SFB, CA. - Space Affairs Live

The WorldView Legion mission has been postponed to another date in April. We will adjust the preliminary date and time once SpaceX officially confirms it. After stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster will make a land landing (land-to-land-landing) at the Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at the Vandenberg Space Force Base. WorldView Legion is a planned series of high-resolution earth observation satellites from the US company Maxar Technologies. They are intended to replace the capacities of the WorldView-1, WorldView-2, and GeoEye-1 satellites. SSL (formerly Space Systems/Loral), a subsidiary of Maxar, is building the satellites. Raytheon, a subsidiary of RTX Corporation, will provide the cameras. The satellites will be able to record panchromatic resolutions of up to meters. Images with resolutions of up to m should be possible on a multispectral level. The satellites can photograph the exact locations up to 40 times a day. A total of two satellites will operate in a polar orbit and four satellites in a sun-synchronous orbit.
