Mapping Satellite-1, designed and developed with the heritage of small satellite CAST 2000 by DFH Satellite Co.LTD, is the fi rst new-generation transmission type photogrammetric satellite of China. Its photogrammetric positioning and mapping system uses LMCCD(Line Matrix Charge Coupled Device)surveying and mapping structure, consisting of three independent panchromatic mapping CCD cameras for forward, nadir and backward looking, three star sensors and one GPS receivers. On the focal plane of the nadir-looking camera, beside one linear array CCD, there are four area array CCDs to improve elevation accuracy. The nominal B/H ratio for stereo is 1.0. By a optical bench of high strength,high rigidity, high stability, the three mapping cameras, three star sensors and a multispectral CCD camera are integrated together as an organic whole, satisfying well high precision and high stability missions requirements of the geometrical angle relations between the cameras. In-fl ight test results show that the photogrammetric positioning accuracy is better than mission requirements, and Mapping Satellite-1 satisfi es global mapping requirements of 1:50000 scale without ground control points. The General design, technical features, course of development and in-fl ight images of Mapping Satellite-1 are mainly presented in this article, especially the technical characteristics and the application perspective are emphatically described in order for different users to utilize all kinds of products of the satellite better, improving its application effi ciency.
