    Sensor type:

    Radar

    What it shows:

    Position, movement, surface properties

  • [ 03 ]

Satellite specifications

Satellite with a cube-shaped body and large, flat solar panels extending from its sides, floating in space.

  • Thermal accuracy:

    1.0-1.5 K absolute surface temperature

    Measure temperature changes reliably across seasons and conditions.

  • Temperature sensitivity (NETD):

    0.05-0.15 K

    Detect subtle activity variations before they become visible.

  • Detector sensitivity:

     <0.1 K for subtle thermal variations

    Identify operational changes in early stages.

  • Ground resolution:

    30 m native (27.3 m GSD at 510 km altitude)

    Distinguish individual buildings, assets, and infrastructure segments.
