[Eurosatory - Day 5] SPARTA-G70 smallsat and the YODA mission
Protecting your sovereignty in space is no longer an option. Interference with strategic government satellites are made, even in geostationary orbit.
👀Watch the surroundings of your strategic assets in geostationary orbit by using one or several small satellites as space-based patrollers. Detect and identify potential threats in orbit such as unknown spacecrafts and hostile proximity operations.
🛰️That is the goal of the YODA mission led by the Commandement de l’Espace (French Space Command - French MoD).
For YODA, HEMERIA is designing and manufacturing two geostationary smallsats with the support of CNES, the French Space Agency, and DGA (French procurement agency - Ministère des Armées). YODA smallsats are based on HEMERIA’s SPARTA-G70 bus, a 50 kg satellite platform able to host ~15 kg of payload.
