On January 14, the UAE’s MBZ-SAT Earth observation satellite, was successfully launched from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA. 

MBZ-SAT is the fourth Earth observation satellite to be developed and launched by MBRSC and the most advanced commercial satellite in the region for high-resolution satellite imagery. With capability to capturing images across a wide expectrum, it will double the image capture capabilities. The satellite features an automated system for continuous image acquisition, processing, and cataloging. This guarantees that it will provide the highest standards of quality for satellite images specifically designed for global commercial use.

Through the project, MBRSC greatly improve its capabilities for image production, addressing the growing demand for its services. This enhancement is supported by GMV, which has contributed through its expertise in automated image planning and processing. This collaboration ensures that the high standards of service quality and performance MBRSC is known for are upheld.

GMV plays a crucial role in developing the data services system for MBZ-SAT. The company is responsible for data reception, mission planning, processing, and user services for the satellite. This automated system ensured the continuous acquisition, processing, and cataloging of images, maintaining the highest quality standards for satellite images designed for global commercial use.

In particular, GMV contributed its expertise in automated image planning and processing, utilizing advanced products such as Flexplan (mission planning), Visualfocus (orbital calculation and 2D/3D visualization), and Prodigi (data processing and user services). These products had been successfully implemented in previous space missions, and their introduction in the MBZ-SAT mission represented a significant advancement in imaging capabilities, with the potential to double the image resolution compared to previous systems. Additionally, GMV has developed high‑resolution image processors.

The introduction of these technologies to the MBZ-SAT mission represents a significant leap forward in imaging capabilities, with the potential to more than double the resolution of images compared to previous systems. This marks a milestone for MBRSC, ensuring it remains at the forefront of space exploration and satellite imagery, ready to meet the demands of current and future missions with reliability and advanced technological support.
