Neptuno, Deimos prototype satellite for a LEO Cubesat constellation dedicated to maritime surveillance, was successfully launched on the 30th June and is now in commissioning phase.
Neptuno will identify and monitor suspicious behaviour patterns in sea to prevent potentially criminal actions. The security authorities of the Spanish Government are the key users of the system.
The satellite was designed and built in DEIMOS facilities in Puertollano, Spain. It is one of the first satellites in orbit with a primary structure fully manufactured in 3D printed thermoplastic.
