The satellite sent telemetry and systems state data, confirming the start of its work in orbit.
The Ukrainian agricultural satellite from EOS Data Analytics, which, together with the PolyITAN-HP-30 nanosatellite, was launched into orbit by SpaceX, was contacted.
The EOS SAT constellation will consist of seven small optical satellites to support the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices and environmental monitoring of forest lands by providing high-quality data for analysis.
“This launch creates revolutionary new opportunities for the use of satellite technology for the agricultural industry. EOSDA will now work with its own datasets to provide deeper and more accurate analytics for customers and its partner,” added Artem Anisimov, CEO at EOS Data Analytics.
The company emphasizes that by 2025, EOS SAT will cover up to 100% of the countries with the largest area of agricultural land and forests, which is 98.5% of such land on the entire planet.
And the data, in turn, can help agribusinesses:
-
control crop growth;
-
identify threats to crops – heat, cold, lack of water, spread of weeds, reproduction of pests;
-
test the effectiveness of new plant protection products or fertilizers;
-
check the yield;
-
eliminate unnecessary field checks, reducing fuel consumption.
It is noteworthy that the device is equipped with two high-precision DragonEye cameras of the Ukrainian-South African manufacturer of space optics Dragonfly Aerospace, a satellite engine developed by the Ukrainian company SETS (Space Electric Thruster Systems), and Flight Control Propulsion which is given. 3-D printing of parts and production of corps elements.
