China’s Beijing-3 satellite captured incredible high-resolution imagery of San Francisco covering 1,470 square miles in just 42 seconds and is capable of remaining very stable while spinning at high speeds, keeping the images ultra clear. It was captured at an altitude of 310 miles at a resolution of 50 centimeters per pixel.
Beijing-3 is the country’s most agile satellite built to date, and can photograph such large areas in record time, thanks to the use of onboard AI technology for stabilization. That’s not all, it can also plan its flight route independently, while monitoring up to 500 areas of interest as it zooms around the globe nearly 100 times each day.
