HJ-1A/B/C Satellite Constellation

The HJ-1 series is a dedicated constellation for environmental monitoring and disaster assessment. Featuring a unique combination of optical (HJ-1A/B), hyperspectral (HJ-1A), infrared (HJ-1B), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (HJ-1C) sensors, it provides a comprehensive and multi-faceted view of the Earth's surface for complex analysis.

Features and Benefits

  • Multi-Sensor Synergy: The constellation's unique combination of optical, hyperspectral, infrared, and SAR sensors allows for comprehensive, multi-layered environmental analysis.
  • All-Weather Monitoring: With the HJ-1C SAR satellite, data collection is guaranteed for disaster response and environmental monitoring, even in cloudy or rainy conditions.
  • Wide Area Coverage: The optical and infrared sensors feature very wide swaths (up to 720 km), making them highly efficient for regional-scale monitoring and rapid assessment.
  • Advanced Spectral Data: HJ-1A's hyperspectral imager, with 115 bands, provides detailed data for material classification, while HJ-1B's infrared camera is key for thermal analysis and fire detection.

Applications

Disaster Assessment: Rapidly map the extent of floods (SAR), fires (Infrared), and other disasters to support emergency response and recovery efforts.
Environmental Monitoring: Conduct large-scale monitoring of land cover change, water quality, and vegetation health using the complementary sensor data.
Agriculture & Forestry: Use the wide-swath optical and hyperspectral data to assess crop conditions, monitor forest health, and manage resources over large areas.
Land Use Planning: Provide foundational data for regional land use classification, urban planning, and resource management.
