PETALING JAYA: The WorldView-2, a satellite owned by US satellite company DigitalGlobe, could be the satellite that provided Australian authorities with the images that appear to show two objects in the Indian Ocean 2500km south-west of Perth that may be related to missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
The WorldView-2 was launched on Oct 8, 2009 and is among four others that the company owns. It provides imagery at a resolution of approximately 50cm and takes a new image of any place on earth every 1.1 days (1 day, 2 hours and 24 minutes).
