Launched on October 18, 2001, QuickBird was the world’s highest resolution commercial satellite for nearly six years. Collecting imagery with 0.60-meter panchromatic and 2.4-meter multispectral resolution, QuickBird brings clarity to planetary and human-made features never before seen in remotely sensed data from outer space. With the largest footprints of any multispectral high resolution satellite, QuickBird is the ideal solution for those requiring large-area, same-day coverage of their area of interest.
