Flight Planning

Below are two tables which will help users with their flight planning. They allow the user to determine the appropriate flying height to obtain the desired swath width and pixel size. The range of flying heights available depends on the platform. For additional information on the platforms which HyTES can be operated click on the Platforms tab.
