Satrec Initiative Ships Deimos-2 to Spain

摘要

Satrec Initiative of South Korea recently delivered to Spain for inspection Deimos-2, a small Earth observation satellite capable of delivering 1-meter-resolution black-and-white imagery and 4-meter-resolution color imagery. The contract was worth a reported 30 billion won ($30 million). The company also recently won a 4.2 billion-won contract for a DubaiSat-3 payload, after the DubaiSat-2 contract and others won in Malaysia. Astrium/SSTL and NEC of Japan are also developing small satellites with 1-meter resolution, but Satrec's satellite will be the first in orbit. Satrec also reported ongoing discussions with potential Singapore customers.
