The area of the earth which is imaged during a satellite orbit is referred to as the satellite swath and can range in width from ten to hundreds ofkilometers. As the satellite orbits the earth a different area is covered due to the earth's rotation. The elevation of the satellite orbit is designed so that the same location will be retraced (imaged) in a period of several weeks.
