GF-7 Satellite Imagery

Launched on November 3, 2019, the GF-7 satellite is a landmark achievement as China's first sub-meter, high-resolution stereo mapping satellite. Equipped with a dual-linear CCD camera and a precision laser altimeter, it is a primary source for 1:10,000 scale stereo mapping, delivering exceptionally accurate 3D data for the most demanding geospatial projects.
