The mission uses the SI-300 bus and carries the High Resolution Advanced Imaging System. Its listed performance envelope includes a 12.2 km swath, 1 m panchromatic imagery, 4 m multispectral imagery, five spectral bands, and an eight-day revisit figure.[3][2] The mission supports high-resolution optical mapping, urban and infrastructure monitoring, land and agriculture monitoring, and disaster damage assessment.[1] No retirement notice has been published; the mission status is extended.[1][2]
