Deimos-2 is a Spanish remote sensing Earth observation satellite built for Elecnor Deimos under an agreement with Satrec Initiative, a satellite manufacturing company in South Korea.
The Earth observation system was developed by
LEOP, in collaboration with Satrec Initiative, who provided the platform and the payload.[2] The platform is based on DubaiSat-2 launched in 2013, with a larger battery pack intended to last for at least 7 years.[3] The satellite was purchased by Urthecast in 2015, together with Deimos-1 and Deimos Imaging, the division of Elecnor Deimos that was in charge of the operation of both satellites.[4]
Deimos-2 was owned by Deimos Imaging, who operated iand commercialises its data. In 2021, the company GEOSAT acquired Deimos-1 & 2, and renamed them to GEOSAT-1 & 2, respectively.[5]
