PR - The fifth reconnaissance satellite was launched from Plesetsk and the
first contact between the control center at the German Aerospace Center
in Oberpfaffenhofen and the satellite was established less than an hour
after launch.
SAR-Lupe will provide high-resolution ground
images to the German Ministry of Defense using five satellites
positioned into three quasi-polar orbital planes. OHB System developed the system for the
German Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement and managed
a consortium of European space technology companies on the project.
