About
The Mineral Monitoring Satellite Series are designed for mineral exploration and identification. These satellites are equipped with advanced imaging capabilities, including a 20-meter shortwave infrared camera and a 5-meter panchromatic camera. The shortwave infrared camera covers the absorption peaks of key minerals, operating within a spectral range of 2000nm to 2500nm, with a spectral resolution of 15nm across 34 spectral segments. It boasts a spatial resolution of 20m/5m and a width of 12km at 500km altitude, with 12-bit quantization. This allows for effective identification of altered minerals like chlorite and sericite by avoiding atmospheric interference and providing accurate mineral information. The panchromatic camera has a spectral range of 450nm to 850nm, a spatial resolution of ≤5m at 500km, and a width of ≥18km at 500km, also with 12-bit quantization. The total weight of the satellite is 130kg.
