KhalifaSat is a UAE high-resolution optical Earth-observation mission launched on H-IIA from Tanegashima on 2018-10-29 [1][2]. It operates in a 613 km sun-synchronous orbit at 98.13 deg inclination on an SI-300 bus [3]. Its pushbroom camera system provides 0.70 m panchromatic and 2.98 m multispectral ground sampling, 12 km single-strip swath, and area imaging up to 36 km [3]. The mission supports urban planning, change monitoring, area classification, environmental monitoring, and disaster-relief use cases [3].
