Lemu Nge will operate in a Sun-synchronous orbit with revisit rates from one to seven days for the same region.
The Simera hyperspectral camera on Lemu Nge measures 32 spectral bands with wavelengths between 450 and 900 nanometers.
The key instrument on Lemu Nge is a high-resolution hyperspectral camera supplied by Simera from South Africa.

Lemu Nge includes an onboard propulsion system using a liquid metal ion thruster designed to allow the smallsat to safely deorbit and leave no space debris behind.
Lemu Nge will use an onboard hyperspectral camera to capture high-resolution images with a 4.75 m ground sampling distance in over 30 visible and infrared bands.
Lemu Nge is planned to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 in 2023.
