THEOS-2, a remote sensing satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space for Thailand’s Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, launched on a Vega rocket in October 2023.
SSC is the key commercial ground station service provider for Airbus-built satellite mission THEOS-2.
THEOS-2 serves as a complement to THEOS-1, which was launched in 2008.
THEOS-2 aims to provide the Kingdom of Thailand with an autonomous capability to acquire high-resolution images from around the world.
SSC will provide routine operations support, full backup, and emergency TT&C services to the THEOS-2 Control Center at GISTDA in Si Racha, Thailand after LEOP.
THEOS-2 is designed to deliver imagery with a 0.50-meter ground resolution.
SSC provides LEOP support connectivity services and routine TT&C support to the Kingdom of Thailand’s national space agency GISTDA for THEOS-2.
SSC supported the launch of Thailand’s high-resolution Earth observation optical satellite THEOS-2.
SSC and GISTDA have been working together since the launch of THEOS-1 in 2008.
THEOS-2 was successfully launched from Kourou, French Guiana, on 2023-10-09.
Airbus Defence and Space built THEOS-2 for a nominal service life of at least 10 years.
THEOS-1, launched in 2008, will be approaching the end of its operational life in the next few years.
GISTDA (Geo-Informatics & Space Technology Development Agency) and SSC have collaborated since the launch of THEOS-1 in 2008.
SSC provides LEOP connectivity services and routine TT&C support to GISTDA as a commercial ground station service provider for the THEOS-2 mission.
Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) supported the launch of Thailand’s THEOS-2 satellite from Kourou, French Guiana on 2023-10-09 at 03:36 AM CEST.
SSC will provide post-LEOP routine operations support and full backup and emergency telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) services to the THEOS-2 Control Center at GISTDA in Si Racha, Thailand.
THEOS-2 (Thailand Earth Observation System-2) is designed to deliver optical imagery with a 0.5 m ground resolution.
Airbus Defence and Space built the THEOS-2 satellite for a nominal service life of at least 10 years.
THEOS-2 aims to provide the Kingdom of Thailand with an autonomous capability to acquire high-resolution images from around the world.
THEOS-2 serves as a complement to THEOS-1, which was launched in 2008.
