WorldView-3 (WV 3) is a commercial Earth observation satellite owned by DigitalGlobe.

[4] WorldView-3 was launched on 13 August 2014 from Vandenberg Air Force Base on an Atlas V flying in the 401 configuration.

Satellite images from WorldView-3 were used in 2015 by an international team of archaeologists to discover what they then believed to be a Viking settlement on Point Rosee, Newfoundland.

[5] From 2020, Scientists are using WorldView-3 to count and detect wildlife species, including African elephants.

The team created a training dataset of 1,000 elephants and fed it to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and compared the results to human performance.
