The Second-generation PRISMA Earth observation system gets underway
SITAEL, capitalizing on the national investments in electric propulsion, will participate in the trade-offs of satellite and platform and study the configurations to make PRISMA SG an “all-electric” satellite, thus ensuring the manoeuvrability and operational flexibility that only this type of satellite provides.
February 21st 2022 – SITAEL, a space company and a part of Angel Group, capitalizing on the national investments in electric propulsion, will participate in the trade-offs of satellite and platform as well as study the configurations to make PRISMA SG an “all-electric” satellite, thus ensuring the manoeuvrability and operational flexibility that only this type of satellites provides.
Moreover, thanks to its extensive experience in control electronics, SITAEL will study the sophisticated control unit of the hyperspectral payload, aiming at the scalability of a cutting-edge and consolidated technology that can speed up the development time as well as the implementation costs.
SITAEL is among the partners, together with Telespazio, e-GEOS, and Leonardo, in the project led by Thales Alenia Space.
