The satellite will have state-of-the-art imaging with sub-metre resolution and a high-speed downlink. ST Engineering will also design and deliver the infrastructure required for the SAR satellite’s operation.
Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) has been selected by FADA to deliver a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite as part of the UAE National SAR Constellation Programme, Sirb. FADA is the space-focused entity under EDGE Group.
According to ST Engineering, the project aims to enhance the UAE’s Earth observation capabilities and includes the design and delivery of both the satellite and mission control infrastructure needed to capture high-resolution radar images for applications such as disaster response, environmental monitoring and national security.
