IRIDE-MS2-HEO 1, ..., 25

IRIDE-MS2-HEO []

IRIDE-MS2-HEO part of the IRIDE earth observation constellation built by the Italian Space Agency ASI with the support of ESA and ASI.

The IRIDE-MS2-HEO satellites with a mass of about 70 kilograms, are equipped with a multi-spectral imager and computers for on-orbit image processing. Applications for the imagery include land use, coastal protection, precision agriculture and defense.

The payload is one of two types of Multispectral sensors: These sensors capture images with multiple spectral channels on the electromagnetic spectrum, enabling the identification and measurement of different materials, land cover studies, vegetation health and crop types.

The HEO (Hawk for Earth Observation) constellation can monitor climate change and its effects in near real time, including soil erosion, deforestation, and ice melting. It can also provide timely warnings to prevent damage from natural disasters such as avalanches, floods, and earthquakes. In addition, HEO's technological solutions and compact size offer significant potential for commercial development and promise to be a game-changer in sectors such as precision agriculture, oil and energy, insurance, logistics, and much more.
