Deimos-2 is a Spanishremote sensingEarth observation satellite built forElecnor Deimos under an agreement withSatrec Initiative, a satellite manufacturing company inSouth Korea.
The Earth observation system was developed byElecnor Deimos, who managed the engineering, ground segment, integration, tests, launch contract andLEOP, in collaboration withSatrec Initiative, who provided the platform and the payload.[2] The platform is based onDubaiSat-2 launched in 2013, with a larger battery pack intended to last for at least 7 years.[3] The satellite was purchased byUrthecast in 2015, together withDeimos-1 andDeimos Imaging, the division ofElecnor Deimos that was in charge of the operation of both satellites.[4]
Deimos-2 was owned byDeimos Imaging, who operated and commercialises its data. In 2021, the company GEOSAT acquired Deimos-1 & 2, and renamed them to GEOSAT-1 & 2, respectively.[5]
