History

It was constructed by Surrey Satellite Technology for Elecnor Deimos, representing the first Spanish Earth observation satellite[3] and the first private one in Europe.[4] It is based on the SSTL-100 satellite bus.[5] Deimos-1 was launched into a 686-kilometre (426 mi) sun-synchronous low Earth orbit.[6] The launch was conducted by ISC Kosmotras, who used a Dnepr carrier rocket, with DubaiSat-1 as the primary payload. Deimos-1, along with the UK-DMC 2, Nanosat 1B, AprizeSat-3 and AprizeSat-4 satellites, were launched as secondary payloads. The rocket was launched at 18:46 GMT on 29 July 2009, from Site 109/95 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The satellite was purchased from Elecnor Deimos by Urthecast in 2015, together with Deimos-2 and Deimos Imaging, the division of the Spanish company that was in charge of the operation of both satellites.[7]

Optical instrument

The satellite has an expected lifetime of five years.[8] It carries a multi-spectral imager with a resolution of 22 metres (72 ft) and 600 kilometres (370 mi) of swath, operating in green, red and near infrared spectra.[8]

Advantages

These optical satellite images open new perspectives to users of this satellite for the development of services & applications in various markets such as Maritime, Agriculture, Environment or Forestry.

• Fast coverage of territories thanks to its wide swath
• Near-real-time capacity
• Competitive price
