## Editorial
Sunspace was a South African microsatellite and EO payload/satellite builder associated with SumbandilaSat. Its heritage work includes the SumbandilaSat microsatellite, an 81 kg South African Earth-observation spacecraft launched in 2009, and the associated multispectral/visible imager.[^wikipedia-sumbandilasat][^eoportal-sumbandilasat]

Its scope for EO buyers is historical small-satellite manufacturing, visible imaging payload heritage and mission-level provenance for SumbandilaSat.[^eoportal-sumbandilasat]
