The two larger satellites - developed by government agencies and firms - will act as eyes on the region for various uses such as enhancing maritime security, detecting oil spills and monitoring disasters for humanitarian aid.
The satellites were released into orbit about 570km above Earth a little after 8.50pm Singapore time. The second-largest of the three new satellites is the first locally developed satellite with a radar technology that can capture images in the night and in poor weather. NeuSAR's development was led by DSO National Laboratories, Singapore's defence research and development organisation.
Constellations of small satellites - which provide wider Earth coverage - can be formed to provide on-demand images for commercial and civil purposes, said DSO National Laboratories and OSTIn in a statement. "We need to study both incoming and outgoing energy to understand how much energy is being retained on Earth. The sensor from Scoob-I will help to quantify a small part of the incoming solar energy," added Prof Chandran, who is the director of space science and technology at the research centre.
