Maroc-Tubsat (Zarkae Al Yamama) [TUB]
The MAROC-TUBSAT or Zarkae Al Yamama project is a cooperation between CRTS Morocco and the Institut f�r Luft-und Raumfahrttechnik in Berlin, where the Moroccan side is responsible for payload and launch and the German side for the satellite bus.
The camera has a focal length of 72 mm and a field of view of about 8�.
The main tasks of the satellite are Earth remote sensing and vegetation detection with a medium resolution of about 300 m, store and forward communications for mobile localization and developing attitude control strategies for high resolution earth observation.
