EarthScanner
With daily revisits to any point on the globe, the EarthScanner constellation collects imagery with up to 150km swath and 4200km continuous imagery capability, perfect for large-area coverage. EarthScanner satellite images have up to 50cm resolution, perfect for very high-resolution large-area mapping down to 1:2000 scale.
EarthScanner consists of 3 satellites: Jilin-1KF01A, Jilin-1KF01B, and Jilin-1KF01C. All three adopt the design of large caliber, large field of view, long focal distance axis, and three trans optical systems. JL-1KF01A/B satellites can obtain a panchromatic resolution of 0.75m, multispectral resolution of 3m, and width of more than 136km, making them the world's largest submicron optical remote sensing satellites with high resolution and super large-amplitude, high-speed storage, high-speed data transmission.
The JL-1KF01C satellite fully inherits the mature technology of the JL-1KF01A/B satellites, with a swath greater than 150km. It provides image service with a resolution of 0.5m in full color and 2m in multispectral bands featuring very high resolution, ultra-large swath, ultra-large storage, and high-speed data transmission.
