Data product name and description

By using an onboard multispectral imaging system, Kazakh Earth Imaging System (KEIS), KazEOSat-2 produces multispectral images (blue, green, red, red edge, and NIR) with a ground sample distance (GSD) of 6.5 meters and a swath width of 77 kilometers.

Note: The information provided herein is based on the data distributor's documentation cited under References.

Spectral bands: Spectral range (nm)	Spatial resolution (m)* (spectral resolution)	Maximum image dimensions (Across track x along track, km)	Notes
B1 (Blue): 440 - 510 B2 (Green): 520 - 590 B3 (Red): 630 - 685 B4 (Red edge): 690 - 730 B5 (NIR): 760 - 900	6.5	Strip mode: Comprised of individual image 'scenes' that are 77 km by 77 km in size. The maximum length of an image strip is 4,000 km and it can be captured at roll angles of up to 35 degrees from nadir. The swath width is 16 km (nadir). Maximum length of an image strip is 4,000 km. Stereo mode: Two fully overlapping image scenes are captured at pitch angles of 30 degrees. Mosaic mode: Operates similarly to Stereo mode, except that the scenes imaged are adjacent and not fully overlapping.	N/A

Distribution disk files

A KazEOSat-2 data set is organized in a specific folder structure on disk. GDB uses this folder structure and the file names to identify the data product type.

Warning: Data sets for this sensor are organized in a specific folder structure on disk. GDB uses this structure and the file names to identify the data product type. Do not alter the folder structure or any file names prior to data ingestion to ensure the image data and auxiliary information are imported correctly.

You can open a KazEOSat-2 data set by selecting the DIMAP (.dim) file.

When opening a KazEOSat-2 data set, the files read by GDB are as described in the following table.

File name	Format	Required	Contents/details
KM_xxx_L1G.dim	DIMAP	Yes	Key file name. Use this file to open the data set.
KM_xxx_L1G.tif	GeoTIFF	Yes	Image data, one file per spectral band.
KM_xxx_L1G.html	HTML	Optional	Image data description in HTML format.
KM_xxx_L1G.tfw	Text	Optional	TIFF world file. Contains information on geographic information systems.
KM_xxx_L1G_tn.jpg	JPEG	Optional	Thumbnail file.
KM_xxx_L1G_ql.jpg	JPEG	Optional	Quick-look file.
KM_xxx_L1G_meta.sip	Specification file	Optional	N/A

Returned data for supported format

KazEOSat-2 data can be opened directly in its raw vendor format or imported into a PCIDSK (*.pix) file using the key file name (*_AUX.xml). For optimal processing, use the PCIDSK format.

The data structure, after it is opened by GDB, is as described in the following table.

Data product	Data returned	Details/notes
KazEOSat-2 satellite multispectral image data	5 x [16U] raster channels 1 x [ORB] orbit segment 1 x [TXT] text segment	N/A
