Objectives and Applications
FORMOSAT-8 program develops six high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites with raw resolution of 1 meter, and two ultra-high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites with raw resolution less than 1 meter. These satellites are deployed in the sun-synchronous orbit to form a constellation, and the sub-meter resolution is achieved through the Super Resolution method of ground image post-processing. The constellation deployment can provide multiple daily revisit capabilities and global coverage of satellite images (including stereoscopic images) to achieve real-time satellite resource requirements.
