Abstract
- The article reports on the successful launch of the first of four CosmoSkyMed radar observation satellites of Italy. Together with Germany's SARLupe imaging system, the Italian X-band satellite will add an all-weather adjunct to the day/night optical intelligence satellite capacity of Europe based on the Helios 2 of France. Under a series of agreements from 2001, Italy and France will share access to CosmoSkyMed, Helios 2 and France's twin-satellite, dual-use Pleiades submetric optical-imaging system, which is to be deployed in 2009-10.
