GF-5/GF-5B Hyperspectral Satellite Imagery
The GF-5 series, including the advanced GF-5B satellite, represents the pinnacle of hyperspectral and multi-sensor Earth observation. With up to 330 spectral bands, these platforms are designed for comprehensive environmental monitoring, atmospheric composition detection, and precise mineral exploration, providing insights invisible to standard optical satellites.

Features and Benefits
- Unprecedented Spectral Detail: The Advanced Hyperspectral Imager (AHSI) provides up to 330 narrow spectral bands, offering 50x more detail than standard systems for precise material identification.
- Comprehensive Monitoring: With seven distinct payloads, GF-5B allows for holistic analysis of the Earth's land, water, and atmosphere simultaneously.
- Atmospheric & Climate Analysis: Dedicated instruments like GMI and EMI enable advanced monitoring of greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄) and atmospheric pollutants.
- Precision Material Analysis: Hyperspectral imagery allows for the creation of spectral "fingerprints" to identify specific minerals, soil types, and vegetation stress indicators.
