GF2 satellites
1.Spatial resolution:
β¦ Panchromatic: 0.8 meters (This is its most prominent feature)
β¦ Multispectral: 3.2 meters
β Blue band: 0.45 - 0.52 ΞΌm
β Green band: 0.52 - 0.59 ΞΌm
β Red band: 0.63 - 0.69 ΞΌm
β Near Infrared band: 0.77 - 0.89 ΞΌm
2. Swath width:
β¦ Swath width of single - scene imaging: 23.5 kilometers (at the nominal orbital altitude)
Orbital parameters
3. Orbital type: Sun - synchronous return orbit
4. Orbital altitude: Approximately 631 kilometers
5. Inclination: Approximately 97.8Β°
6. Local time of descending node: Approximately 10:30 AM (to ensure good lighting conditions)
7. Revisit period:
β¦ Designed revisit period: 5 days (without side - looking)
β¦ Side - looking ability: It has a rapid side - looking ability (Β±35Β°). The revisit period can be shortened to 1 - 3 days through side - looking, which improves the observation flexibility.
