HISEA-1: The First C-Band SAR Miniaturized Satellite for Ocean and Coastal Observation
On 22 December 2020, HISEA-1, the first C-band SAR small satellite for ocean remote sensing, was launched from the coastal Wenchang launch site. Though small in weight, the images it produced have a high spatial resolution of 1 m and a large observation width of 100 km. The first batch of images obt...
