KOMPSAT-2 Panchromatic and multispectral imagery

The KOMPSAT-2 allows the generation of high resolution images with a GSD of better than 1 m for PAN data and 4 m for MS data with nadir viewing condition at the nominal altitude of 685 km. The MSC has a single PAN spectral band between 500 - 900 nm and 4 MS spectral bands between 450-900 nm. PAN imaging and MS imaging can be operated simultaneously during mission operations. The swath width is greater than or equal to 15 km at the mission altitude for PAN data and MS data. The system is equipped with a solid state recorder to record images not less than 1,000km long at the end of life. The satellite can be rolled up to ±30 degrees off-nadir to pre-position the MSC swath. The KOMPSAT-2 can provide across-track stereo images by multiple passes of the satellite using off-nadir pointing capability. The satellite is compatible with daily revisit operation by off-nadir pointing with degraded GSD. Also, the image products according to the requested products quality standard can be made within one (1) day after satellite passes over the KGS.
