DEIMOS-2 is the first Spanish very-high resolution Earth Observation satellite, producing multispectral images with a resolution of 75 cm per pixel. It is the highest-resolution fully private satellite in Europe, and one of the very few privately-owned submetric satellites in the world.
Deimos-2 is a an earth observation satellite as a follow-on to Deimos-1 that launched in 2009. The satellite was designed and developed by Satrec Initiative, an Elecnor company, for operator Deimos to acquire high-resolution images of Earth for a variety of purposes.
The imaging payload covers a panchromatic channel (560-900nm) and four multispectral channels Blue (466-525nm), Green (532-599nm), Red (640-597nm) and Near Infrared (770-892nm). Multispectral resolution is 4 meters and the sharpened-PAN mode achieves ground resolutions of up to 0.75 meters.
Deimos-2 can operate in single strip imaging, multi-pointing imaging of close targets, single-pass stereo imaging by along-track pitch maneuvers.
