AlSat-1B is a medium-resolution Algerian optical Earth-observation microsatellite and a second-generation DMC-derived imaging mission.[1] It launched on 2016-09-26 on ISRO PSLV-C35 and operates in a sun-synchronous low Earth orbit at about 700 km.[2][1] The ALITE payload provides panchromatic imaging at 12 m and multispectral imaging at 24 m over a 150 km swath.[1] The mission is framed for agriculture, environmental monitoring, disaster monitoring, and cartography, with less than seven-day repeat coverage over Algeria and full Algeria coverage in 29 days.[1][3]
