GF-6 Satellite Imagery
Launched in June 2018, the GF-6 satellite is a low-orbit optical remote sensing satellite engineered for precision agriculture. It is the first in its class to feature a Red Edge band, providing unique insights into vegetation health. With its dual-camera system offering both high-resolution detail and wide-swath coverage, GF-6 is a versatile tool for agricultural and environmental resource management.

Features and Benefits
- Pioneering Red Edge Band: Its unique Red Edge band is critical for advanced vegetation analysis, detecting subtle changes in plant health and stress before they are visible to the human eye.
- Dual Capability Imaging: GF-6 offers both high-resolution (2m/8m) imagery for detailed analysis and very wide-swath (800km) imagery for large-area monitoring, providing unmatched flexibility.
- Rich Spectral Information: With 13 distinct spectral bands including Purple and Yellow, GF-6 provides incredibly rich data for sophisticated environmental and agricultural studies.
- Frequent Monitoring: A 4-day revisit capacity ensures timely acquisition of imagery, allowing for dynamic monitoring of rapidly changing environments like agricultural fields.
