Summary
Abstract: CBERS-2 CCD - High Resolution CCD Camera.

The CCD camera provides images of a 113 km wide strip with 20m spatial resolution. Since this camera has a sideways pointing capability of ± 32 degrees, it is capable of taking stereoscopic images of a certain region.

The CCD camera operates in 5 spectral bands that include a panchromatic one from 0.51 to 0.73 µm. A complete coverage cycle of the CCD camera takes 26 days.

Access Constraints
All images are fully cost free when requested (via Internet). These images are (by default) sent via FTP to the users for downloading. It can rather be recorded on a CD media and mailed to the user, what implies costs (media plus mailing) driving the user to register at the Users Assistance Service (ATUS) for tax payment and shipment procedures.
