About
The Jilin-1 KF01B is Chang Guang Satellite Technology’s flagship sub-metre imaging platform, delivering 0.5 m panchromatic and 2 m multispectral imagery across a swath exceeding 150 km from a 535 km sun-synchronous orbit. The satellite captures over 2 million km² of high-resolution imagery per day, supporting land surveying, urban planning, agriculture monitoring, disaster assessment, and environmental monitoring. Location accuracy of 20 m CE90 is achievable without ground control points. The platform supports push-broom, inertial space, and multi-target imaging modes, with 11-bit radiometric resolution in PAN (450–800 nm) and four multispectral bands.
