This computation involved: DETAILS NEEDED - COMPUTATION CREATED FOR SATELLITE COMPOSITE. deployed on UK Disaster Monitoring Constellation 2 (UK-DMC2) satellite. The second generation DMC satellite, launched 2009, provides hugely increased imaging capacity over the original UK-DMC satellite, retaining the same 650km swath width, but with twice the pixel density at 22m Ground Sample Distance (GSD).
