About
The Methane Integrated Satellite Series satellites are at the forefront of domestic technology, featuring a methane camera with a spectral resolution of 0.1 nanometers. These satellites are designed for a variety of applications, including methane leak monitoring, emission assessment, drift trend analysis, and carbon neutrality capacity assessment. They are widely utilized in fields such as ecological environment monitoring, industrial emissions tracking, gas leak detection, gas exploration, carbon sink assessment, and carbon trading. The series includes representative satellites like the Xi Guang 1-04 Star (Xi Guang 1). The imaging mode for the methane camera is pushbroom imaging. In addition to the methane camera, the satellites are equipped with a chlorophyll camera and a multispectral camera, providing a comprehensive suite of remote sensing capabilities.
