KOMPSAT-3

KOMPSAT-3 is a Korean satellite operated by SI Imaging Services (SIIS). It provides enhanced 50 cm panchromatic and 2 m multispectral resolution imagery across visible and near-infrared bands. With a swath width of 16 km and single-pass stereo collection capability, KOMPSAT-3 is well-suited for government projects, large-area mapping, oil and gas operations, and frequent monitoring. Its 14-bit data depth helps retain image detail in shadowed areas and supports consistent colour representation.
