The Spanish high-resolution land imaging mission, known as SEOSAT-Ingenio, will be launched tonight aboard Vega VV17 launcher from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

Launch will be at 01:52:20 GMT (Tues 17 Nov)

Separation is expected at 02:46:45 GMT

Acquisition of signal (AOS) is expected to be confirmed by the ESOC operations control centre in Darmstadt, Germany around 02:59 GMT.

The Earth-observing satellite carries a state-of-the-art dual camera that can image Earth’s land with a resolution of 2.5 m. The mission will benefit society through numerous disciplines such as cartography, agriculture, forestry, urban development and water management.
With its capability to look sideways, it can access any point on Earth within three days, and will be used to help map natural disasters such as floods, wildfires and earthquakes – as well as help with one of humankind’s biggest challenges: understanding and responding to climate change.
While SEOSAT–Ingenio is a Spanish national mission, it is the result of an international collaborative effort. The mission is funded by Spain’s Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, but developed by ESA in the context of the European Earth Observation Architecture.

Highlights will be posted on the ESA TV server as soon as possible after AOS:
