Mission Details

ÑuSat 9 to 18

Satellogic is the first Argentine company to have realized nanosatellites. It is currently setting up a constellation called Aleph-1, which will initially consist of 25 "ÑuSat" satellites. It is a 90-satellite constellation, working as a scalable Earth observation platform with the ability to weekly remap the entire planet at high resolution to provide affordable geospatial insights for daily decision-making.

Satellogic created a small, light, and inexpensive system that can be produced at scale. Each commercial satellite carries two payloads – one for high-resolution multispectral imaging and another one for a hyperspectral camera of 30m GSD and 150 km Swath (at a 470 km flying altitude).

Payloads: 10
Total Mass: 410.0 kg

Taiyuan

The "Taiyuan" popular science satellite (81-03) is mainly used to perform experiments such as celestial remote sensing observation, Earth observation, and sky and earth co-programming education, providing a platform for young students to conduct popular science and education in space.

The satellite project was initiated by the Taiyuan Education Bureau in cooperation with the China Aerospace Science and Technology International Exchange Centre, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Corporation; students from Jinshan Middle School in Taiyuan participated in the entire satellite development; Northwest Polytechnic University provided technical support for the satellite development and ground measurement and control.
