MSS multispectral images from Kanopus-V

MSS multispectral images from Kanopus-V Multiband surveying sensor from ?Kanopus-V? satellite that has circular sun synchronous orbit. The sensor is designed for monitoring man-caused and natural-caused emergency situations. The sensor provides earth surface images in 4 spectral bands (blue ? 460-520 nm, green ? 510-600 nm, red ? 630-690 nm, near infrared 750-840 nm). Nadir spatial resolution is 12 m. Swath with of the system is 20 km. The system has the ability to point the sensor to 40� from nadir in either side, which enables swath view of 920 km. The revisit frequency depends on latitude and can vary from 3 to 16 days. Obtained data can be used for tackling various problems in agriculture, ecology, cartography, construction, forestry, natural resources inventory and emergency situations monitoring.
