ANSER L, F1, F2

ANSER L, F1, F2 [INTA]

ANSER ((Advanced Nanosatellite Systems for Earth observation Research)) 3U CubeSat project of INTA (Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aerospacial) consisting of three satellites working together on a common Earth Observation mission with both scientific and technological objectives.

  • Study and monitor the quality of inland (reservoirs) water over Iberian Peninsula
  • Develop key technologies to efficiently address Complex Space Missions based on clusters

ANSER Leader is commanding the cluster and carrying a miniature panchromatic camera. ANSER Follower 1 and Follower 2 are carrying a Fragmented Cinclus hyperspectral camera (400 nm - 850 nm).

The satellites were launched in October 2023, but ANSER L failed to deploy.
