813

Objectives

• Developing the skills of Arab engineers and scientists in the fields of space science, technology, and innovation.
• Encouraging Arab countries to enter the field of space science and technology, and strengthening cooperation among the Arab Space Cooperation Group through joint projects in space science and technology.
• Enhancing the technical foundation of the National Space Science and Technology Center by developing and applying advanced capabilities in the assembly, integration, and testing of small satellites, while providing a platform to attract and activate the participation of Arab experts in the space sector.
• Achieving a better understanding of climate change and developing solutions for critical environmental issues in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The Arab Satellite 813 Payloads Overview

• Hyperspectral Imager (HSI): Operating across the visible and shortwave infrared spectrum (400-1700 nm), the HSI captures highly detailed spectral data with over 200 distinct bands. It enables precise monitoring of vegetation, water bodies, and land use for advanced environmental analysis.
• Panchromatic Imager (PAN): This high-resolution sensor captures black-and-white imagery, providing fine spatial detail of Earth's surface. It is ideal for applications requiring sharp visual clarity, such as detailed mapping and surface feature detection.
• Atmospheric Polarimeter (AP): The AP measures light polarization across 12 spectral bands, offering valuable data on atmospheric conditions. This enhances the accuracy of environmental monitoring and supports climate research.
