SpaceX launched a third pair of WorldView Legion imaging satellites for Maxar Tuesday. A Falcon 9 lifted off at 6:13 pm EST (2213 GMT) from the Kennedy Space Center, placing the fifth and sixth WorldView Legion satellites into low Earth orbit. The launch completes the deployment of the WorldView Legion constellation, whose satellites can capture images with 30-centimeter resolution. The satellites, in both mid-inclination and sun-synchronous orbits, can provide up to 15 passes daily over some regions.
