RESURS-O1  

Definition

  • There are two types of remote sensing instrument on board RESURS-O1. The MSU-E is comparable with instruments on other satellites, such as Landsat, while the MSU-SK offers perspectives of the Earth that have never been available before. It has a wide swath and medium resolution, and bridges the enormous gap in coverage and detail between SPOT/Landsat TM and NOAA AVHRR. It makes it an ideal complement to both of these data sets, better defining the regional context of a local study, or giving focus at regional scales to a continental survey.
