Wednesday, 28 September, 2011

NigeriaSat-2, the UK designed and build 2.5m micro-satellite, is now collecting imagery after its successful launch in August. The first image is over Salt Lake City and demonstrates the quality of the new 2.5m sensor. As the article notes, NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X, cost a total of £30M which included training in design and build of their own satellite. A remarkable knowledge transfer partnership.
