Comments: RazakSAT carries a medium-sized aperture camera with a black-and-white resolution of 8.2 feet [2.5 m] and a color resolution of about 16.4 feet [5.0 m]. Flying in an orbit with a low inclination of 9 degrees, RazakSAT will pass over Malaysia up to a dozen times per day, an increase over the coverage of most other satellites. RazakSAT imagery will be used by researchers, commercial customers and government agencies, according to ATSB. Applications for the data include agriculture, environmental monitoring, exploration, forestry, mapping, transportation, utilities management, and urban planning.
