Hi All...

*Chinese satellite takes hi-res image of US cities in SECONDS*

Using one of the most nimble & powerful imaging satellites ever, China has been able to snap San Francisco within 42 seconds - with images that could easily identify military vehicles and even weaponry.

The Beijing-3 test on June 16 revealed it could capture images of large areas in one fly-by from 500km up, while rotating at 10 degrees per second - something previously thought to be impossible.

By comparison, its response time is 2 or 3  times faster than the US' most advanced competitor WorldView-4, with a 77% wider scanning band. Despite joining the market late, it has generated more than $41BN in annual revenue.

Ciao!
