SC-A GEO Optical Relay Satellite
Sector: Government • Location: Switzerland
Source: Bitget
The SC-A spacecraft is a commercial geostationary optical relay satellite built on SWISSto12's small HummingSat platform. It serves as a demonstration mission to establish that robust, competitive optical data relay services can be delivered from geostationary orbit using a small satellite approach. The project aims to offer a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional government-opera

Description
Description | The SC-A spacecraft is a commercial geostationary optical relay satellite built on SWISSto12's small HummingSat platform. It serves as a demonstration mission to establish that robust, competitive optical data relay services can be delivered from geostationary orbit using a small satellite approach. The project aims to offer a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional government-operated large-scale optical relay satellite systems. |
