About

The HRVI-6HD 2nd Generation is the latest iteration of a space-proven medium resolution earth observation system. It is designed to capture imagery with a Ground Sample Distance (GSD) of 4.6 meters when orbiting at an altitude of 500km, covering a substantial swath of 70km. The system includes a standard configuration with 1 panchromatic (PAN) channel and 4 multispectral (MS) channels, and also offers a hyperspectral option for more detailed spectral analysis. Its Data Processing Unit (DPU) supports JPEG compression, provides 2TB of storage, utilizes CCSDS protocols, and includes encryption capabilities. A key feature is its in-orbit focusing ability, ensuring optimal image quality throughout its operational life. The compact design measures 540x320x170mm³ and has a mass of 10.45kg, with a design life of 5 years.
