Features and Benefits

  • Versatile Imaging: With four distinct camera types, the CBERS constellation provides a wide range of resolutions and swath widths for any project scale.
  • High-Resolution Analysis: CBERS-04A offers 2m panchromatic resolution, providing high-resolution data suitable for detailed land analysis and feature extraction.
  • Wide-Area Coverage: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) cameras provide exceptionally wide swaths (up to 866 km), making them ideal for regional monitoring and broad-area surveys.
  • Multispectral & Infrared Data: The presence of multispectral and infrared bands enables advanced monitoring of vegetation health, water quality, and thermal characteristics.

Applications

Land & Water Resources: Conduct comprehensive mapping and long-term monitoring of land cover and water bodies for resource management.
Agriculture & Forestry: Assess crop yield estimations, monitor forest health, and manage agricultural resources with varied multispectral data.
Urban Planning: Support smart city initiatives, analyze urban growth, and assist in infrastructure development with high-resolution imagery.
Environmental & Disaster Monitoring: Aid in environmental protection efforts, monitor pollution, and provide rapid assessment of flood areas, wildfires, and other natural disasters.

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.
