| TripleSat satellite image data | Four channels for MS data, one channel for PAN data | GDB retrieves four image channels for MS data, and one image channel for PAN data. |
| Ephemeris data | One orbit segment | GDB imports ephemeris data as an orbit segment. This segment contains information about the satellite position, satellite attitude, IFOV, projection, sensor, and orbit (if the data product provides this information). |
| RPC data | One binary segment | GDB imports a rational-function model as a binary segment (when the data product provides this information) |
