Description: The Kondor is an 800 kg Earth observation small spacecraft designed to provide high-resolution imagery and terrain mapping in real-time. The spacecraft can be equipped with either a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) or electro-optic payload. The SAR radar with a 9.6 cm wavelength has a resolution of 1-20 meters over a 10x200 km surveillance area. Its parabolic antenna has a 6-meter diameter and is capable of stereoscopic and interferometric imagery processing. The electro-optic payload provides near-infrared imagery featuring a resolution of one meter. The Kondor Earth observation satellite is provided with a ground flight control station and data reception and processing centers. The data gathered by the Kondor Earth observation satellite is suitable for both civil and military applications such as agriculture, forestry, mapping industry, land use management, geology, mineral exploration, environmental protection, ship navigation, and ice reconnaissance.
