Print Edition
CHINA has published the first pictures transmitted back to Earth from Gaofen-3, the country’s first C-band high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite with a resolution of 1 meter.
The State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence published images of the Beijing Capital International Airport, Xiamen in Fujian Province, the northern port of Tianjin, China’s fourth-largest freshwater lake Hongze and the Yellow Sea.
Gaofen-3 was launched on August 10 and started to take pictures and send them back from August 15.
The data was received by ground stations and processed by the China Center For Resources Satellite Data and Application.
Major users of the satellite’s services include the State Oceanic Administration, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Water Resources and China Meteorological Administration.
Gaofen-3 has all-weather, 24-hour earth observation capability, and will provide China with new technologies for ocean environment monitoring, maritime rights protection, disaster monitoring and evaluation, meteorological research, monitoring of water conservation facilities, and water resource management.
