ESAIL was asmall satellite developed by theEuropean Space Agency (ESA) in partnership withLuxSpace andExactEarth.[1][2][3] Its objective was worldwide tracking of ships using theirautomatic identification systems (AIS)[4][5][6] for fisheries monitoring, fleet management, environmental protection, and security monitoring.[7][8][9] The satellite was launched in September 2020 on theVega flightVV16 fromGuiana Space Centre.[10][11][12][13][14] In a record-breakingtechnology demonstration, the satellite managed to process more than 2,000,000 messages from 70,000 different ships in a single day, representing a 15% to 20% improvement over previous satellites.[15][16][17]
