Vantor unveils WorldView 3D high-resolution imagery product

Vantor, formerly Maxar Intelligence, launched a 3D imagery line built on its WorldView Legion satellites.

what happened

Per SpaceNews, on July 1, 2026 Vantor, formerly Maxar Intelligence, unveiled WorldView 3D, a new imagery product with two tiers: WorldView 3D Rapid, delivering 50-centimeter-resolution 3D maps within 24 hours, and WorldView 3D HD, delivering 15-centimeter resolution with 3-meter accuracy. The product draws on the six WorldView Legion satellites launched in 2024-2025 and a new reconstruction algorithm.

why it matters

Faster, higher-resolution 3D mapping shortens the turnaround for disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, and autonomous-navigation customers who previously waited longer for comparable 3D products, sharpening Vantor's pitch against Planet, Airbus, and other high-resolution optical providers.
