KazSTSAT: Launched 2018

KazSTSAT is a small Earth observation satellite jointly developed by SSTL and JV Ghalam LLP.  The satellite has a mass of 105kg and acquires image data at 18.7 m GSD with a swath width of 275 km.  The spacecraft carries several experimental and demonstration units, including a beyond diffraction limit imager, a sun sensor, and a novel OBCARM.  KazSTSAT is operated by Ghalam, using a fully virtualized ground segment with S/X-band software defined back-ends deployed at KSAT ground stations in Svalbard and a technology demonstration ground station in Astana.
