GF-1 B/C/D Satellite Imagery
Launched in March 2018, the GF-1 B/C/D satellites form a powerful constellation that enhances global remote sensing capabilities. Working in conjunction with GF-1A, this series provides a reliable stream of 2m panchromatic and 8m multispectral imagery, offering a perfect balance of detail and coverage for large-scale monitoring projects.

Features and Benefits
- High Revisit Frequency: With the full constellation, achieve a revisit capacity of approximately 1 day, ensuring you never miss critical changes on the ground.
- Balanced Resolution: The 2m panchromatic and 8m multispectral resolution is a cost-effective choice for detailed mapping over moderately sized areas.
- Wide-Area Awareness: Combined with GF-1A's 830km wide-swath imager, the constellation provides excellent regional coverage and situational awareness.
- Proven Multispectral Analysis: Standard Red, Green, Blue, and Near-Infrared (NIR) bands are essential for vegetation health monitoring (NDVI), land use classification, and environmental studies.
