THEOS-2 (Thailand Earth Observation System-2), is a Thai Earth observation satellite. The satellite would be capable of observing Earth's surface with a resolution of up to 50cm, and covering about 74,000 square kilometers per day. [1] THEOS-2 was launched by a Vega rocket from Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana on 9 October 2023. [2] [3] [4]
THEOS was designed to be a small sized satellite with a mass of 750 kg (include equipment and fuel). It has a hexagonal shape with a height of 2.4 meters and a width of 2 meters (when the solar panel folds). It was launched into low Earth orbit in 2008 to an altitude of 822 km and with an inclination of 98 degrees. It is equipped with optical ...
Sentinel-2 is an Earth observation mission from the Copernicus Programme that acquires optical imagery at high spatial resolution (10 m to 60 m) over land and coastal waters. The mission's Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B satellites were joined in orbit in 2024 by a third, Sentinel-2C, and in the future by Sentinel-2D, eventually replacing the A and ...

ALOS-3 →. Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2), also called Daichi-2, is a 2,120 kg (4,670 lb) Japanese satellite launched in 2014. Although the predecessor ALOS satellite had featured 2 optical cameras in addition to L-band (1.2 GHz/25 cm) radar, ALOS-2 had optical cameras removed to simplify construction and reduce costs.
The satellite is made of THA-18N, a tungsten alloy, [ 6] and houses 92 cube-corner retroreflectors, which are used to track the satellite via laser from stations on Earth. LARES's body has a diameter of about 36.4 centimetres (14.3 in) and a mass of about 387 kilograms (853 lb). [ 1][ 7] LARES was inserted in a nearly circular orbit near 1,451 ...
Satellite constellation. The GPS constellation calls for 24 satellites to be distributed equally among six orbital planes. Notice how the number of satellites in view from a given point on the Earth's surface, in this example at 40°N, changes with time. A satellite constellation is a group of artificial satellites working together as a system.
