About
The High-resolution agricultural and forestry monitoring satellite series is specifically designed for applications such as crop growth monitoring, resource management, and pest and disease detection. Each satellite is equipped with a 10-meter hyperspectral camera that operates within the 450nm to 900nm spectral range, featuring 70 spectral segments and a spectral resolution of 6.5nm. This hyperspectral payload is designed to avoid atmospheric absorption peaks, allowing for accurate capture of vegetation characteristics. Additionally, the satellites carry a 2-meter panchromatic camera, covering a spectral range of 450nm to 850nm. After fusion processing of the data from both cameras, the system can output high-quality 2-meter resolution data. Both cameras utilize 12-bit quantization for data capture. The hyperspectral camera has a width of 14km at 500km altitude, while the panchromatic camera has a width of at least 14m at 500km. The total weight of each satellite in the series is 130kg.
