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.

Applications

Agriculture: Monitor crop health across large regions, assess irrigation needs, and support precision agriculture strategies with frequent multispectral imagery.
Environmental Monitoring: Track land use changes, monitor water quality in lakes and rivers, and assess the impact of environmental shifts over time.
Urban & Regional Planning: Use as a reliable source for creating and updating base maps, analyzing urban growth patterns, and monitoring infrastructure projects.
Disaster Management: Contribute to damage assessment, response planning, and recovery monitoring for large-scale 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.
