| The calibration of Deimos-1 instrument and the fine-tuning of the platform are well underway and it is foreseen to enter full operational capability during October. The quality of the instrument, specially designed for this satellite generation, is very high. Its focus quality, radiometric quality, and general system stability surpasses expectations and ensures years of sustained operations with imagery that leaves far behind Landsat in the radiometric bands principally used for agriculture and environmental applications. |
Deimos-1 is born with a decided commercial vocation, and the company has been preparing applications for years, which are now ready for delivery as soon as operational capability starts. The Northern download station in Svalbard, in cooperation with KSAT, is ready and represents a guarantee of delivery that minimises memory bottlenecks in case demand for imagery is high.
