SSTL 300

SSTL-300 is a world-leading Earth observation (high-resolution) satellite. The natural evolution of the SSTL-150 platform, designed for highly demanding applications.

Click to enlargeVery flexible configuration, capable of supporting a large spectrium of implementations, payloads and structural configurations. Current variants are optimised for optical EO (from 2.5m to sub 1m resolutions), SAR and science EO payloads. Active variants include SSTL-300i 2.5 Agile, SSTL-300i 1.0 Agile, SSTL-300i UHR, SSTL-300L and SSTL-300r.
