GF-2 Satellite Imagery

Launched on August 19, 2014, the GF-2 satellite provides powerful sub-meter high-resolution imagery. It is engineered for a wide range of applications, including geographical mapping, land surveying, and near-realtime environmental monitoring. With its 0.8m panchromatic resolution and a wide 45km swath, GF-2 is a cornerstone of modern remote sensing.
