NigeriaSat-1: The Mission

Built under a training and transfer programme with the Nigeria Space Research & Development Agency, the 100kg NigeriaSat-1 was launched into the Disaster Monitoring Constellation providing 32m multispectral imaging with a 600km wide swath. Retired from service after 8 years (the mission was designed with a 5-year lifetime), NigeriaSat-1 acquired a wide range of data useful for geospatial purposes. The imaging system was fitted with normalised differential vegetative index (NDVI) technology capable of giving early warning signals of natural and environmental disasters
