GRUS-1 Satellite Capabilities
High-Resolution Microsatellite Constellation for Earth Observation
GRUS-1 is part of Axelspace's GRUS constellation, capturing frequent 2.5m resolution multispectral and panchromatic imagery for land monitoring and environmental analysis.
About the GRUS Earth Observation Satellites
GRUS is a remote-sensing microsatellite developed by Axelspace. The first satellite launched in 2018, with subsequent units forming a growing constellation. GRUS-1D, also called “SUISEN,” was developed in collaboration with Fukui Prefecture.
GRUS satellites capture both panchromatic (grayscale) and multispectral images in blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared bands. Each satellite images a swath over 50 km wide, supporting frequent and detailed monitoring of terrestrial surfaces. Data are available via the AxelGlobe platform.
2.5 metre ground resolution imagery
Supports frequent observations in mining, exploration, infrastructure, and environmental monitoring.
Multispectral data and wide coverage
Captures red edge and near-infrared bands for detailed land analysis.
Frequent revisits with full constellation
Enables revisit cycles of up to three days.
Features and Benefits
- High spatial resolution for detailed land analysis
- Wide swath width supports efficient area monitoring
- Frequent revisit times improve temporal analysis capabilities
