Abstract
Sharjah-Sat-2 is a 6U Earth Observation (EO) CubeSat currently being developed by the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology (SAASST) and The University of Sharjah (UoS). The 6U CubeSat design is currently being Designed and Integrated with two payloads on board: (1) a High-Resolution Hyperspectral Imager with less than 5 Meters of Ground Sampling distance (GSD) and (2) an experiential payload consisting of a GNSS receiver. The mission’s primary scientific objective is to capture High-Resolution Hyperspectral images of the United Arab Emirates to provide a constant stream of reliable data that will be utilized to improve the country’s infrastructure and resource management. The secondary mission objective is to monitor and validate the integrity of GNSS signals. This paper will provide insight into the preliminary mission design of the Sharjah-Sat-2 Microsatellite, highlighting the mission’s payload, orbit determination, and coverage study.
