Small Satellite Missions for Earth Observation

Abstract

VENμS (Vegetation and Environment on a New Micro Satellite) is an Earth observation demonstration mission developed in cooperation by FRANCE and ISRAEL in the framework of the European Global Monitoring for Environment and Security Program (GMES).

This program gathers both a scientific mission (earth images at high resolution and high repetitivity) and a technological mission (low orbit control by IHET – Israeli Hall Effect Thruster). It is due to fly at mid of 2011, for an overall duration of 3.5 years.

This chapter presents all the aspects of the VENμS mission: missions’ description, missions’ implementation, missions’ concurrence, ground image processing, ground control segment, satellite and payloads descriptions. It will also detail the cooperation aspects.
