At the heart of Satlantis' offerings are its iSIM (integrated Standard Imager for Microsatellites) optical payloads. These payloads provide very high-resolution imaging capabilities, with resolutions down to 2 meters in multiple spectral bands, including visible, near-infrared (VNIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), and thermal infrared (TIR). Notably, the iSIM-90 camera enables simultaneous imaging across four bands with a swath width of 14 km, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from environmental monitoring to defense and security.
Notable Missions
-
GARAI A: Launched in January 2025, GARAI A is a 115 kg microsatellite equipped with advanced optical instruments capable of capturing high-resolution images across multiple spectral channels, including polarimetry. It is part of the Atlantic Constellation, a collaboration between Spain and Portugal aimed at enhancing Earth observation capabilities. Its applications include monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and disaster response.
-
HORACIO: Launched in March 2024, HORACIO is a 16U CubeSat featuring the iSIM-90 camera. It offers simultaneous coverage in the visible and near-infrared spectra, with a resolution of up to 2 meters and a swath of 14 km. This mission provides high-resolution Earth observation data for various commercial applications.
