BILSAT-1 was Turkey's Disaster Monitoring Constellation Earth-observation microsatellite, operated by TUBITAK-ODTU-BILTEN / TUBITAK UZAY.[1][2] It launched on 2003-09-27 from Plesetsk on Kosmos-3M with other DMC and rideshare spacecraft.[1] The mission used a modified SSTL Microsat-100 / SSTL-100 class platform.[1] Its payload suite included COBAN, a low-resolution multispectral imager, and GEZGIN, a DSP-based JPEG2000 image-processing module built by BILTEN engineers.[1] BILSAT-1 demonstrated onboard JPEG2000 image processing alongside DMC-era wide-area multispectral monitoring.[1][2]
