Mineral monitoring satellites are used for mineral exploration and identification. They are equipped with 20-meter shortwave infrared and 5-meter panchromatic cameras, covering the absorption peaks of key minerals, avoiding atmospheric interference, effectively identifying altered minerals such as chlorite and sericite, and providing accurate mineral information.
