FSSCat B and A [UPC]
FSSCat A and B or 3Cat 5A and 5B, are two 6U CubeSat developed at the Universidad Polit�cnica de Catalu�a (UPC) to
The mission is to collect data to complement the Copernicus Sentinels and, in particular, to support the Copernicus Land and Marine Environment services using a state-of-the-art dual microwave payload as well as a multispectral optical payload. Also it is to demonstrate Inter-Satellite Links (ISL) with a Laser Communication Payload.
FSSCat A also hosts ESA's Φ-sat 1 (Phi-sat 1) experiment to test Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Earth observation.
