Summary / excerpt:
On Aug. 13, 2014, a company called DigitalGlobe launched what was then the
sharpest-eyed satellite of all time. WorldView-3 is a high-resolution imaging satellite
that can resolve features as small as 1 foot (31 centimeters) across. Its instruments
allow it to peer through fog and smoke to see Earth's surface at a level of detail that

been orbiting Earth ever since. The WorldView-3 Earth-observing satellite. (Image

images and deliver data in record time, the spacecraft changed the game in terms of
studying Earth from space. While technology continued
