| Sensor Name : | KFA-1000 |
| Sensor Description : | KFA-1000 is a type of camera. The type of survey was colour spectrozonal. The average height of survey was 270km. The camera has a focal length of 1000mm. The average scale of survey was 1:270,000. The camera had spectral zones with a range of: 570-680 & 680-810nm. The frame size is 300x300mm. The area covered on the ground is 80x80km. The longitudinal overlap of images is 60%. Images from this camera were made commercially available by Sojuzkarta. KFA-1000 cameras were typically mounted on (Russian) Resurs-F1 spacecraft, or Cosmos satellites. |

| Description : | Resurs vehicles were launched from the Soyuz spacecraft by the USSR space program. They carried photographic equipment for the taking of multizonal and multispectral photographs of various scale. Resurs F-1 with 2 x KFA-1000 cameras and 3 x KATE-200 cameras. Resurs F-2 with 1 x MK-4 camera. First launched in 1981. Both satellites had an average altitude of 270km, and had 82.3 km coverage. |
