🛰How to purchase China high-resolution Satellite images.

China has become one of the world’s most active providers of commercial remote sensing data. For European and North American companies, purchasing Chinese high-resolution satellite imagery can be practical, cost-effective, and technically reliable when handled through an experienced service partner that understands both international business workflows and China’s satellite data ecosystem.

Major Chinese Satellite Resources

Jilin-1 Satellite

Jilin-1 is one of China’s most dynamic commercial satellite constellations. It is widely used for urban monitoring, land management, agriculture, infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and commercial mapping projects.

Resolution: up to 0.5 m panchromatic and sub-meter optical imagery
Launch Date: first satellites launched in October 2015
Typical Use: urban mapping, industrial zones, ports, airports, land cover analysis
Strength: frequent revisit capability and large constellation capacity

SuperView-1 Satellite

SuperView-1, also known as Gaojing-1, provides high-resolution commercial imagery suitable for mapping, urban development, engineering planning, natural resource management, and international commercial applications.

Resolution: 0.5 m panchromatic and 2 m multispectral
Launch Date: December 2016
Typical Use: base maps, city planning, transportation corridors, site evaluation
Strength: stable commercial image quality and global acquisition capability

GF-7 Satellite

GF-7 is an advanced Chinese high-resolution mapping satellite designed for stereo imaging and precision surveying applications. It is valuable for 3D mapping, elevation modeling, natural resource monitoring, and engineering analysis.

Resolution: approximately 0.65 m forward-view and 0.8 m backward-view stereo imagery
Launch Date: November 2019
Typical Use: DEM production, terrain analysis, surveying, infrastructure planning
Strength: stereo observation and high-accuracy mapping capability

GF-1 2-meter Series

The GF-1 series provides reliable 2-meter class imagery for broad-area monitoring and practical geospatial projects. It is suitable for agriculture, forestry, environmental assessment, regional mapping, and medium-scale commercial analysis.

Resolution: approximately 2 m panchromatic and 8 m multispectral
Launch Date: first GF-1 satellite launched in April 2013
Typical Use: agriculture, forestry, environmental monitoring, regional planning
Strength: cost-effective coverage for larger areas

🌐Who Should You Buy From?

Most Chinese satellite operators are large state-owned or institution-backed organizations. They usually have strict procedures, complex internal approval processes, and limited flexibility when communicating with overseas commercial customers, especially during quotation, contract, payment, invoicing, and delivery stages.

For international buyers, it is usually more efficient to work with an experienced service provider such as Beijing Yijingtu Geographic Information Technology Co., Ltd. A professional service partner can provide direct communication, flexible data sourcing, practical technical advice, and one-stop access to multiple Chinese satellite resources without requiring the customer to contact each satellite operator separately.

This approach saves time, reduces communication friction, and helps global companies obtain the most suitable imagery based on area, date range, resolution, processing requirements, and budget.

🚀How to Purchase China Satellite Imagery

Purchasing Chinese satellite imagery is straightforward when the requirements are clearly defined. You can contact us by email or WeChat and provide the basic project information. Our team will then search available archives or evaluate new acquisition options and prepare a professional consultation report for your review.

1
Contact Us

Email us at accpxdj@gmail.com or contact us on WeChat: xdj_jl.

2
Define Your Area

Send coordinates, a KMZ vector file, a map screenshot, or any clear boundary reference.

3
Confirm Image Requirements

Tell us the target acquisition time, resolution from 0.3 m to 10 m, processing purpose, and budget range.

4
Receive Data Options

We prepare a report including acquisition date, resolution, satellite name, price, and sample imagery.

5
Contract and Invoice

We can provide a Chinese contract, a commercial quotation, a Chinese official invoice, or an international invoice.

6
Delivery

After payment is received, data processing usually takes 5 to 10 business days. Delivery is made by cloud download link.

The final satellite imagery is normally delivered in GeoTIFF format using the WGS84 geographic coordinate system, which is widely compatible with professional GIS and remote sensing software.
