URDANETA is SATLANTIS’ first proprietary satellite: a full-solution satellite programmed for various value-added Earth Observation applications in areas such as precision agriculture, land mapping, border security, marine/coastal ecosystem, energy and environmental monitoring. By incorporating an iSIM-90 imager (very high resolution) on board a CubeSat sensor bus, it will enhance the end-users’ analytics capabilities. URDANETA is scheduled to fly in June 2022.
Regarding the payload and the complete satellite, including the CDR elements of the Pacis-3 partnership project with ESA. The reliability of the design and technical capabilities of the Hisdesat satellite system is confirmed and the integration and manufacturing activities of all the flight elements, both of the Eurostar NEO platform and of the payload, begin. SPAINSAT NG satellites guarantee the continuity of secure communications services. Its operational useful life will be 15 years, remaining in service until 2039.
STAR3 presents at the Spanish Small Satellites International Forum the results obtained in the development of new structural components using additive manufacturing technologies. Within the framework of this project, funded under the ESA GSTP program, TECNALIA has manufactured an optical bench in silicon carbide, a material of high dimensional stability, using the binder jetting process, which is characterized by drastically reducing the lead time of this type of components.
Thales Alenia Space Agency awarded GTD the contract for the Lunar Gateway’s International Habitat Application Software.
