Intuition-1 is a 6U CubeSat operated by KP Labs (Poland) and launched as part of the SpaceX Transporter-9 rideshare mission. The satellite's launch date is reported as 9 November 2023 by eoPortal [1] and 11 November 2023 by KP Labs' own anniversary article [2]; the Transporter-9 lift-off occurred on 11 November 2023 UTC, which is the date consistent with the SpaceX manifest. [2]
Intuition-1 carries a hyperspectral imaging payload for technology demonstration and operational data collection. It operates in a sun-synchronous orbit at approximately 535 km altitude and 97.5 degree inclination per eoPortal [1]; the KP Labs mission page references a 600 km altitude in the context of ground sampling distance specifications, which appears to represent a design reference altitude rather than the operational orbit. [3] Orbital period calculations based on KP Labs' reported 5490 orbits in the first year of operations are consistent with the 535 km figure. [2] Swath is 40 km per eoPortal. [1]
The mission demonstrated onboard AI processing of hyperspectral data, with results reported after one year of operations. [2]
