SuperView-2
SuperView-2, launched in July 2020, is an Earth observation satellite with an 8-year design life. It collects 42cm panchromatic and 1.68m multispectral imagery from an altitude of 643.8 km.
Technical specifications
What you can do with SuperView-2
Detail at 42cm GSD
At 42cm GSD, vehicles are countable, and building outlines, road furniture and single trees stay distinct. The panchromatic band carries that geometry, and the 1.68m GSD multispectral bands are pansharpened against it, so colour products hold the same detail.
Bands past red, green and blue
Alongside blue, green, red and near-infrared, this sensor collects a red edge band and a second near-infrared band. The red edge sits on the step where vegetation reflectance climbs, so stress registers there before true colour shows it.
One satellite collecting
Collection rests on a single spacecraft, so opportunities arrive on its orbit rather than on demand. As stated by the supplier: 1.5 days revisit at 30° off nadir. That is the cadence to plan against; a cloud-free result usually takes more than one opportunity.
Stereo for elevation
Stereo pairs are collectable, so elevation comes out of the imagery itself instead of a global model: building heights, stockpile and pit surfaces, the shape of structures on the site you ordered.
