HyperScan
Hyperscan (JL-1GP01/02) satellite has a 110 Km Swath and 25 bands starting from 5 m resolution including Coastal-band, RGB, Red-edge, NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and the thermal LWIR. It is twice the spectral and spatial resolution of Sentinel 2. This satellite is suited for large-scale agriculture monitoring with two days revisit, and with a rich archive over the last two years.
HyperScan is carried onboard the Jilin-1 GP01 and Jilin-1 GP02 Earth Observation (EO) satellites, which were both launched on 21 January 2019 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in China. The two satellites are equipped with multi-spectral imagers, short-wave, medium-wave, and long-wave infrared cameras, the "Shuiyun-1" system, and other payloads.
Both satellites are also equipped with onboard intelligent processing systems, which can generate remote sensing data with a resolution of 3m, a width of 110km, and at 25 different spectral bands. This data collection of a high number of bands from a combination of Visible Near-Infrared (VNIR), Shortwave, Mediumwave, and Longwave Infrared imagers, makes HyperScan comparable to hyperspectral products.
