Print Edition
CHINA’S first high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite has passed all its in-orbit tests and is now operational, according to the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
The Gaofen-3 satellite, which is accurate to 1 meter, was launched in August 2016.
Tong Xudong, a senior engineer with the administration, said the satellite covers the globe with an all-weather, 24-hour observation service and will be used for disaster prevention and reduction, ocean monitoring, and the protection of maritime rights.
Gaofen-3 takes pictures of both Earth and bodies of water, and detailed photos of specific areas.
