Summary
Abstract:
The CBERS-2B satellite is designed for global coverage and include cameras that make optical observations and a Data Collection System transponder to gather data on the environment. They are unique systems due to the use of on board cameras which combine features that are specially designed to resolve the broad range of space and time scales involved in our ecosystem.
The WFI has a ground swath of 890 km which provides a synoptic view with spatial resolution of 260m. The Earth surface is completely covered in about 5 days.
