Descrizione : Innovative Space Infrastructure for reliable Earth Intelligence - WorldView Legion is a fleet of high-performance satellites that dramatically expands our ability to revisit the most rapidly changing areas on Earth to better inform critical, time-sensitive decisions.

MDA`s daughter company DigitalGlobe announced in early 2017 to build a next generation constellation of earth observation satellites called WorldView-Legion to superceede the aging WorldView 1 and WorldView 2 satellites.

The satellites in this constellation shall be able to revisit some locations on Earth up to 40 times in a day.

Satellites will be built by SS/Loral, another daughter company of MDA, which will result in significant savings. The imager is built by Raytheon.

Six spacecraft of the WorldView-Legion constellation are planned to be on orbit in 2020/21 timeframe in a mix of sun-synchronous and mid-latitude orbits. Digital Globe may chose to build a further satellite as a back-up
