    The HRC (High Resolution Camera) was launched aboard ESA's Proba-1 satellite on 22 October 2001, and is primarily intended for technology, educational and general public information purposes.

    The HRC has a field of view of 0.358 degrees, and from the current orbit of Proba-1 of about 600km the HRC provides images with a pixel resolution of 8m. The data are grey scale images, an image contains 1026 x 1026 pixels.

    HRC data is supplied in BMP format.
