Sensor Name : KATE-200
Sensor Description : KATE-200 is a type of camera. The type of survey was Multizonal. The average height of survey when this camera was used was 270km. The average scale of survey was 1:1,350,000. The camera has a focal length of 200mm. The camera had 3 spectral zones with a range of: 500-600nm, 600-700nm and 700-850nm. The frame size is 180x180mm. The area covered on the ground is 243 x 243km. The longitudinal overlap of images is 60%. Images from this camera were made commercially available by Sojuzkarta. KATE-200 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.
