Did you see the news that we have a satellite constellation in Image Hunter that offers high-resolution mono, video and nighttime imagery? If not, read on and find out more about this exciting constellation!
CG continues to invest in their 75-cm resolution satellite constellation, and we are happy to announce that we added seven more 75-cm Jilin-1 satellites to Image Hunter in January 2024! All are a part of their GF03D series with 75-cm resolution panchromatic bands and 3-meter resolution multispectral bands. The satellites have been in operation since May 22, 2023, and their addition boosts our archive of 75-cm resolution imagery. As the Jilin-1 constellation grows we are adding more content to Image Hunter, creating an ever-expanding high-resolution archive.
This 75-cm color Jilin-1 image was collected by the GF02 series over Dubai, UAE on October 31, 2021. (Images Courtesy: CG)Apollo Mapping offers high-resolution Jilin-1 imagery from satellites owned and operated by CG. This partnership unlocks a constellation of multiple satellites launched between 2015 and now. With a robust archive accessible through Image Hunter, the Jilin-1 product suite includes nighttime, video and mono imagery!
Jilin-1 offers an impressive variety of resolutions from 30-cm to 1.2-m. It’s also the only constellation boasting an array of unique capabilities, like 120-second color video collected at 92-cm and 1.2-m resolution; and 92-cm to 1.2-m color nighttime imagery. Five satellites in the Jilin-1 Video series also collect a 3.68-meter red-edge band for vegetation mapping; while satellites in the KF series collect data with a massive 136-kilometer (km) wide footprint or greater. With so many satellites in orbit, Jilin-1 revisits the same location up to six times a day, resulting in a robust archive filled with large-footprint images.
