18:46 GMTCarrier rocket Dnepr-1 Launch site Baikonur Site 109/95 Mission duration Five years Mass 91 kg[1] Orbital elements Regime Sun-synchronous Deimos-1[2] is a Spanish Earth imaging satellite which is operated by Deimos Imaging. It was constructed by Surrey Satellite Technology, based on the SSTL-100 satellite bus.[3] Deimos Imaging commercializes its imagery directly but also has distribution agreements with other entities like Astrium GEO and DMC International Imaging.
Deimos-1 was launched into a 686-kilometre (426 mi) sun-synchronous low Earth orbit.[4] The launch was conducted by ISC Kosmotras, who used a Dnepr-1 carrier rocket, with DubaiSat-1 as the primary payload. Deimos-1, along with the UK-DMC 2, Nanosat 1B, AprizeSat-3 and AprizeSat-4 satellites, were launched as secondary payloads. The rocket was launched at 18:46 GMT on 29 July 2009, from Site 109/95 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The satellite has a design life of five years.[5] It carries a multi-spectral imager with a resolution of 22 metres (72 ft) and 600 kilometres (370 mi) of swath, operating in green, red and near infrared spectra.[5]
