SSTL 150

SSTL-150 is a world-leading Earth observation (high-resolution) satellite.

An enhanced version of the SSTL-100 platform with substantial improved payload capacity, improved propulsion and added high attitude agility. It is ideally suited for use with customer supplied payloads given its straightforward interface scheme. Active variants include SSTL-150i Agile (Beijing-1), SSTL-150i 2.5 Agile and SSTL-150 RapidEye. It is based on SSTL’s heritage platform design, used in the successful Beijing-1 and TopSat missions which have achieved four years of in-orbit heritage.
