Simera Sense

We’re proud to have supplied the hyperspectral imager at the heart of the Sharjah-Sat-2 mission in the UAE, developed by the University of Sharjah in collaboration with ISISPACE Group. This milestone highlights the continued advancement of Earth observation capabilities in the region, and we look forward to following the mission’s success closely as it unlocks new insights from space.

An exciting few days at SATShow Week comes to an end. From insightful talks, engaging discussions and a Happy Hour with our friends at Sidus Space and Little Place Labs - it was one for the books. See you next year!
