China's Most Advanced Observation Satellite Launched

China successfully launched a high-definition Earth observation satellite into orbit on Tuesday, Xinhua reports.

The Long March-4B rocket carrying the satellite took off from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province at 11:15 a.m. Beijing Time, the 191th mission of the Long March series.

As China's most advanced Earth observation satellite, Gaofen-2, with high radiometric and positioning accuracy, is able to detect a one-meter-long object in full color on the ground.

The satellite will be used for geographic and resources surveys, environment and climate change monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster relief and city planning.

what is the capability/resolution ?

 

[qwerrty]

not bad for 1000~ kg sat.

china's most advanced? umm

try these guys. 20+ opical/sar satellites. their parameters not advertised lol

sub 0.5 metre in a few years if the state provides sufficient funding，according to Ma Shijun，chief engineer of the Gaofen Project。

Prototype developments for Gaofen-3、Gaofen-4 and Gaofen-5 have been initiated。

Good going China :clap:
There is one "MARCH" thats taking China to next level in technology and then we have another "MARCH" happening at our very friendly neighbour taking to known level.

What does to do with this thread with another MARCH?

@Chak Bamu @Aeronaut @Oscar @WebMaster

Congrats !!

 

[VelocuR]

Well in both the cases "MARCH" word association with project has given a new direction to nation.
So I guess its a lucky word

Nice trolling

whats the resolution. any pic?

 

[Beidou2020]

Apparently Google has satellites that can see up to 25cm.
The Super-Imaging Satellite That Will Double Google Maps Resolution

US military IMINT satellites can see up to 10cm.
China's Yaogan spy satellites can see close to 10cm according to experts.

Resolution is 1 meter.

 

[applesauce]

the resolution, specifically, is 0.8

which compared to publicly acknowledge 0.2 that the US has

US military of course is said to have 0.1 or less, china too has unreported military use-only resolutions better than 0.8 but we dont know the specifics
