The ultra-high-sensitivity camera is installed on the second satellite, CE-SAT-II-B, and it can capture night sceneries in 5.1-meter RGB resolution (at nadir).
These groundbreaking data acquisition capabilities enable new workflows in a variety of industries and fields.

RESTEC will expand the sales of CE-SAT data by leveraging its broad overseas sales network through this agreement. Together RESTEC and CE are jointly promoting the provision of CE-SAT Series data worldwide, including Japan, and contribute to the development of innovative solutions.
