Sensors

Details of payloadunknown. It should consist of an improved version of the VRSS-1 payload, with resolution improved to 1 m (panchromatic) and 4 m (multispectral), and additional channels in SWIR (30 m) and LWIR (60 m).

Comments

Much less details available for VRSS-2, but expect slightly improved capabilities over VRSS-1.
