SpaceX targets August 15, 2024, for a Falcon 9 launch of Maxar Technologies WorldView 3 & 4 (Maxar 2 Mission) satellites to a sun-synchronous orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The scheduled launch time is 9:00 a.m. EDT, 1300 UTC, 15:00 CEST. If needed, a backup launch opportunity is available on Friday, August 16, with a three-hour window opening at 9:00 a.m. ET.
Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Space Affairs live stream begins ca. 20 minutes before the planned T-Zero.
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 can record panchromatic resolutions of up to 0.29 meters. Images with resolutions of up to 1.16 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.
