SATLANTIS

SATLANTIS announces the signing of a contract with Armenia for Armsat1 satellite / anuncia la firma de un contrato con Armenia para el satélite Armsat1

Posted on June 25, 2022August 12, 2022 by info

On May 25, Urdaneta, the first SATLANTIS satellite, was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket into space. Equipped with an iSIM-90 camera, a high-resolution binocular telescope, the satellite will provide images for agriculture, environment and civil protection.

El pasado 25 de mayo Urdaneta, el primer satélite de SATLANTIS, fue lanzado en un cohete Falcon 9 de SpaceX al espacio. Equipado con una cámara iSIM-90, un telescopio binocular de alta resolución, el satélite ofrecerá imágenes para la agricultura, medio ambiente y protección civil

After successfully passing the launch milestones from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (Florida), Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian announced last Thursday, May 26, at a press conference, the signing of the contract between SATLANTIS and GEOCOSMOS to develop a long-term New Space strategy.

Later that Thursday, Urdaneta, the first satellite of the SATLANTIS company, established its first communication with Earth, via UHF, establishing its excellent state of health (camera, batteries, reaction wheels, solar panels, radio, etc.).

This is a new historical milestone. What until Thursday was “the first Basque satellite”, today acquires the dimension of the first operation of a complete supply of an Earth observation system. Until today, Spain was a buyer of foreign satellites, in which its industry participated with a rate of return. “With Urdaneta and with the complete upstream-downstream system, we become global leaders in complete solutions of very high resolution, and we realize the dream for which we have been preparing for 10 years. “In addition, we bring a number of local companies that have collaborated with us in consortium,” says Juan Tomás Hernani, CEO of the company.

Robert Khachatryan, Minister of High Technology Industry of the Republic of Armenia, attended the launch on May 25, accompanied by the Armenian Ambassador to the USA and two of the company’s founders, Rafael Guzman and Juan Tomas Hernani, as well as the new investor in SATLANTIS, the gas company Williams, represented by Angela John. The Minister expressed his satisfaction at the fast-track entry into the club of countries with a space sector, also aware that there are countries much larger than Armenia that do not have such optical observation capabilities of less than 2 meters.

“Armenia is not just another commercial project. It is replicating the SATLANTIS story in the development of a country’s New Space ecosystem, while empowering the operation from our headquarters in Bilbao,” concludes Hernani.

The first SATLANTIS satellite is now in orbit

Urdaneta-Armsat1 is a 16U CubeSat offering 1.80 m resolution in RGB+NIR with a 13 km swath, and a total mass of 16.4 kg. It is designed to have a nominal lifetime of at least four years in SSO (heliosynchronous) orbit at 530 km altitude. It is made up of 16 cubes of 10 centimeters on each side. It is 20 centimeters wide and 40 centimeters high, and has deployable solar panels. The heart of the satellite is the iSIM-90 instrument, a small camera capable of providing high-resolution images for agriculture, environment and civil protection.

Tras superar con éxito los hitos del lanzamiento desde la Estación de la Fuerza Espacial de Cabo Cañaveral (Florida), el primer ministro armenio, Nikol Pashinián, anunció el pasado jueves 26 de mayo en rueda de prensa la firma del contrato entre SATLANTIS y GEOCOSMOS para desarrollar una estrategia de New Space a largo plazo.

Un poco después, a las 12.31 h. de ese mismo jueves, Urdaneta, el primer satélite de la compañía SATLANTIS, establecía su primera comunicación con Tierra, vía UHF, estableciendo su excelente estado de salud (cámara, baterías, ruedas de reacción, paneles solares, radio, etc.).

Se trata de un nuevo hito histórico. Lo que hasta el jueves era “el primer satélite vasco”, hoy adquiere la dimensión de la primera operación de un suministro completo de un sistema de observación de la Tierra. Hasta hoy, España era comprador de satélites extranjeros, en los que participaba su industria con una tasa de retorno. “Con Urdaneta y con el sistema completo upstream-downstream, nos convertimos en líderes globales de soluciones completas de muy alta resolución, y hacemos realidad el sueño para el que llevamos preparándonos 10 años. “Además, traccionamos a un número de empresas locales que han colaborado con nosotros en consorcio”, declara Juan Tomás Hernani, CEO de la compañía.

Robert Khachatryan, ministro de Industria de Alta Tecnología de la República de Armenia, acudió a presenciar el lanzamiento, el pasado 25 de mayo, acompañado de la embajadora de Armenia en EEUU y de dos de los fundadores de la compañía, Rafael Guzmán y Juan Tomás Hernani, así como el nuevo inversor en SATLANTIS, la gasista Williams, representado por Angela John. El ministro se mostró satisfecho de entrar por la vía rápida en el club de los países con sector espacial, consciente también de que hay países mucho más grandes que Armenia que no poseen estas capacidades ópticas de observación de menos de 2 metros.

Al evento se desplazaron también 18 jóvenes ingenieros de SATLANTIS, dirigidos por Aitor Conde, su director de tecnología, constituyendo uno de los grupos más numerosos del día de lanzamiento.

“Armenia no es un proyecto comercial más. Es replicar la historia de SATLANTIS en el desarrollo del ecosistema New Space de un país, potenciando a la vez la operación desde nuestra sede de Bilbao”, concluye Hernani.

El primer satélite de SATLANTIS ya está en órbita

Urdaneta-Armsat1 es un CubeSat 16U que ofrece una resolución de 1,80 m en RGB+NIR con una franja de 13 km, y una masa total de 16,4 kg. Está diseñado para tener una vida nominal de al menos cuatro años en órbita SSO (heliosíncrona) a 530 km de altura. Está conformado por 16 cubos de 10 centímetros de lado. Mide 20 centímetros de ancho y 40 de alto, y dispone de paneles solares desplegables. El corazón del satélite es el instrumento iSIM-90, una cámara de reducidas dimensiones capaz de proporcionar imágenes en alta resolución para la agricultura, medio ambiente y protección civil.
