ZY-3 02 Satellite Imagery

As part of China's first civilian stereomapping constellation, the ZY-3 02 satellite is a cornerstone for creating high-precision 1:50,000 scale Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). It is specifically designed to acquire panchromatic stereoscopic pairs, providing invaluable data for detailed resource mapping, environmental surveying, and 3D modeling applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Advanced Stereo Mapping: As a core component of a civilian stereomapping constellation, ZY-3 02 provides essential data for generating accurate 3D terrain models and base maps.
  • DEM Database Creation: Its primary capability supports the creation of high-quality 1:50,000 DEM databases, which are critical for detailed land analysis and large-scale planning.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: The satellite's ability to collect stereoscopic pairs ensures seamless and consistent coverage across a significant portion of the Earth.
  • Frequent Updates: The constellation's rapid revisit time of 1-2 days enables timely monitoring of dynamic changes for projects that require up-to-date information.

Applications

Resource & Environmental Surveying: Conduct detailed surveys of land, water, and forestry resources with high-confidence stereo and multispectral data.
Infrastructure & Urban Planning: Develop smart cities, manage urban growth, and plan routes for roadways and utilities using accurate base maps and 3D terrain data.
Geological Surveys: Perform accurate geological analysis and detailed terrain assessments for mining, exploration, and risk management.
Agriculture & Crop Estimation: Provide valuable data for regional agricultural planning and contribute to crop yield estimation models.

Satellite Imagery Advisor

Brief questions. Practical guidance. Get an indicative estimate instantly, and we only proceed to a formal quote once the basics are clear.

Advisor mode: this form will recommend the lowest resolution and type that fits your objective so you do not overpay.
Step 1 — Area & Location
1 / 4
Start simple: Upload a KML/KMZ/ZIP if you have it. If not, a bounding box or center plus dimensions works fine. We will calculate area for you where possible.
Upload AOI file (KML / KMZ / ZIP) — recommended
Preferred: a single polygon AOI. We compute the area automatically.
Enter corner coordinates (bounding box)
Use min/max latitude and longitude.
Enter center coordinate + width & height
Good for quick feasibility when exact boundaries are not available.
Describe location (city / region / site name)
We will follow up to confirm an AOI boundary if needed.
Advisor note: If speed is the priority, we usually check archive first. If you need a specific date window or fresh capture, choose new tasking.
Archive imagery
Previously captured imagery, typically faster delivery.
New capture (tasking)
Satellite is tasked for your AOI; weather and availability can affect capture date.
Not sure, advise me
We will recommend the most feasible option based on area, timing, and objective.
Minimum order guidance
Archive imagery: typically 15 to 25 km²
New capture: typically 50 to 100 km²
Feasibility depends on satellite, location, and timing.
Pick a date window. We will advise what is realistic for your area and cloud conditions.
Resolution guidance: Higher resolution increases detail and cost. We will recommend the lowest resolution that meets your objective.
I know what I need
