The SuperView-2 Advantage

4-Band Multispectral Imagery
SuperView-2 offers red, green, blue and near-infrared (NIR) multispectral bands to empower informed decision making.

Better Than 50-cm Resolution
SuperView-2 joins an exclusive group of sub-50-cm resolution satellites with a 40-cm resolution panchromatic band and four, 1.6-meter resolution multispectral bands.

Overview & HistorySuperView-2 SpecificationsPricing

Building off their success of the SuperView-1 constellation, SpaceWill launched the new and improved SuperView-2 satellite on July 3, 2020 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China. SuperView-2 is equipped with a 40-cm resolution panchromatic band and four, 1.6-meter resolution multispectral bands. SuperView-2 offers red, green, blue and near-infrared (NIR) bands, giving customers more spectral data to empower critical decisions. The satellite’s wide swath of 15-kilometers and ability to image long strips results in a daily collection capacity of 200,000 square kilometers.
