Notes:
Swath Width is in kilometers, for VNIR bands or (if none) then SWIR, panchromatic or hyperspectral.
Pointable refers to whether the sensor is capable of off-track pointing.
Revisit refers to the repeat frequency of the sensor over a given location.
If pointable, the first number represents global repeat, and the second represents local repeat capability.
Coverage refers to the ground area that the sensor is capable of acquiring.
Global coverage may or may not include areas of the Arctic or Antarctic.
