MISR-D 1, 2

MISR-D 1 and 2 (Modular Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance), also konwn as Flashpoint 1, 2, are experimental satellites by the SOCOM (Special Operations Command) likely carrying a SIGINT payload.

The satellites were built by Apex based on their Aries platform.

MISR-D is to demonstrate responsive, multi-mission capabilities, including testing two-way communications with ground devices and exploring novel tactical applications for small satellites.
