HAMMER 1 (IOD-HAMMER, IOD 6) [Open Cosmos]
IOD-HAMMER or IOD 6 is a British 6U-CubeSat built by Open Cosmos and carrying an aerth observation payload which will focus on monitoring the Atlantic coastal and maritime areas.
The Atlantic Constellation is a flagship global project for the development of a constellation of small satellites for Ocean, Earth and Climate monitoring. The UK is aiming to join Portugal and Spain in contributing to from this innovative data-sharing network.
Once in orbit, HAMMER will join the Open Constellation, adding hyperspectral imaging capabilities and greater diversity of data to the shared, global constellation.
