EgyptSat-1, also known as MisrSat-1, was Egypt's first Earth remote-sensing satellite. It launched from Baikonur on 2007-04-17 aboard Dnepr and used the MS-1TK microsatellite bus.[1][2]
The mission carried two imaging payloads: the EgyptSat-1 Multispectral Earth Imager and the EgyptSat-1 Infrared Earth Imager.[2] The multispectral imager resolves at 7.8 m; the infrared imager resolves at about 39 x 46 m; swath is 46.6 km.[2] The spacecraft operated in a Sun-synchronous orbit of about 658 x 666 km at 98.1 degrees before loss of contact in July 2010.[1][2] Its application set covers land-cover change, inland-water observation, and crop-type monitoring.[3]
