High Resolution Imaging Satellite Systems

ABSTRACT: The number of existing and announced high and very high resolution imaging satellite systems is growing permanently. Not all systems are known very well even if they are powerful and images can be ordered. The announced systems are changing permanently – in general the number is growing, but also some do disappear mainly by financial reasons. In addition the sensor parameters are not published or fixed in any case. An overview of the existing and announced sensors and an explanation of important parameters will be given
