Ikonos 2

Ikonos 2 Belgian Earth Observation Website About ikonos 2. ikonos 2 was an earth imaging satellite of digitalglobe inc. which launched in 1999 and ceased operations in 2015. it is part of esa's third party missions programme, in which esa has an agreement with digitalglobe to distribute data products from the mission. ikonos mission specification. date of launch. 24 september 1999. status. Ikonos was a three axis stabilized spacecraft designed by lockheed martin space systems. the design later became known as the lm 900 satellite bus and was optimized to carry remote sensing payloads. [ 20] four reaction wheels stabilized the spacecraft's altitude, which was measured by two star trackers and a sun sensor.

Ikonos 2 was a three axis stabilised spacecraft, using the lm900 satellite bus system (also referred to as block 1). the lm900 spacecraft design was based on the crss imaging bus. the attitude was measured by two star trackers and a sun sensor and controlled by four reaction wheels (actuators); location knowledge was provided by a gps receiver. Ikonos 2 was an american (privately owned) imaging satellite launched by an athena 2 rocket at 18:22 ut from vandenberg afb. its one meter resolution images will be marketed under the brand name of carterra about two or three months after launch. technical details about the ikonos 2 (1999 051a or norad 25919) satellite. Ikonos 2 objectives. ikonos 2 was the world's first sub metre commercial earth imaging satellite, kick starting what would become a multi billion dollar industry for high resolution satellite imagery and geospatial products and services. over its lifetime, ikonos 2 collected more than 400 million km 2 of earth imagery.

Ikonos 2 was a high resolution commercial imaging satellite operated by maxar. ikonos 2 carried ms and pan instruments, known as the optical sensor assembly (osa). the outputs of these instruments were combined in post processing into a synthesised product known as the geo ortho kit. the collection is composed by the copy of products requested. Ikonos served as one of the first commercial satellites to deliver imagery from space. in the beginning, engineers planned to have a pair of satellites (ikonos 2). they planned them to be exact replicas of each other. however, ikonos 1 didn’t succeed in even making it to space. ikonos 2 was successful in 2000 and they renamed it simply ikonos.
