Description
Summary:This document describes a proposal to construct and launch a new generation of polar orbiting micro satellites for Earth observation. The project is a joint venture with the Technical University of Berlin (TUB), University Centre on Svalbard (UNIS) and SVALSAT. The proposed micro satellite is designed for interactive Earth observation using a hyper spectral imager. The mission objective, the final configuration of the satellite, the ground segment, and the operation is described. 1.
