Reliable 50cm High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
At 50cm resolution, SuperView-1 provides organisations with near-real-time intelligence to proactively identify blind spots, anticipate events and have confidence in the next mission-critical decision. Four identical satellites. Daily revisit. Global coverage. Archive from $14/km² delivered in 48 hours.
The Ideal Trade-Off Between Detail, Coverage and Cost
50cm high-resolution imagery gives you the detail you need for the widest range of professional, civil and military applications — at a cost that makes regular, high-frequency revisit practical for ongoing projects.
Buildings and roads visible. Suitable for overview mapping and land use classification at regional scale.
Individual buildings, vehicles, roads and infrastructure clearly visible. The most widely used resolution for civil and professional projects worldwide.
Vehicle types, road markings and construction details identifiable. Higher cost — suited to GEOINT, defence and engineering-grade precision work.
50cm SuperView-1 Satellite Imagery - China's First Commercial High-Resolution Constellation
SuperView-1 is China's first high-resolution commercial satellite constellation. Four identical agile satellites orbit at 530km in a sun-synchronous orbit, delivering consistent, daily revisit with a high probability of cloud-free capture for any location on Earth.
Each satellite carries a 50cm panchromatic sensor and four 2m multispectral bands. With up to 2 million km² of collection capacity across the constellation per day, SuperView-1 offers the coverage and reliability that large-scale and ongoing monitoring projects demand.
- Identify individual buildings, roads and infrastructure clearly
- Detect changes in land use, vegetation and development over time
- Generate stereo DEMs and 3D city models from agile multi-angle capture
- Map field boundaries and assess crop health with 2m multispectral data
- Support defence, civil government and emergency response workflows globally
