Homepage» System » Satellite Imageries » GF-6 (GaoFen-6)


GF-6 launched in June 2018, and it is equipped with one 2 m panchromatic and 8 m multispektral cameras (PMC) and one wide field imagers (WFI) with 16 m MS medium resolution and a combined swath of 800 km.

The revisit frequency of the spacecraft is <4 days and the observation range of the mission covers a region from 80°N to 80°S. It mainly applies in precision agriculture observation, forestry resources survey, land resourse investigstion, mineral resource management, atmospheric and water environment quality monitoring and natural disaster emergency response and monitoring.
