To mark the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration, China's Jilin-1 satellites have released a series of stunning high-resolution images that clearly capture streets and landmarks from a satellite's perspective.
The collection includes detailed views of Taipei City, the Keelung River and Alishan Mountain.
Developed by Chang Guang Satellite Technology, the Jilin-1 constellation is a key component of China's optical remote sensing network. It currently operates 141 satellites in orbit. According to the developer, the Jilin-1 constellation can revisit global targets up to 40 times per day, allowing near real-time monitoring worldwide. It also offers global coverage six times a year and domestic monitoring about twice a month.
