MENUT (also known as GENEO) is a 6U CubeSat operated by Open Cosmos on behalf of the Institut Cartografic i Geologic de Catalunya (ICGC), the Catalan regional mapping and geosciences agency. ^[1] ^[2] The satellite launched on 3 January 2023 as part of the SpaceX Transporter-6 rideshare mission and began returning imagery in February 2023. ^[3]

MENUT carries a multispectral optical imager and operates in a sun-synchronous orbit. The Open Cosmos mission page gives an orbital altitude of 528 km ^[1]; an aggregated reference value of approximately 538 km has appeared in secondary catalogue sources, with the operator figure (528 km) reflecting the deployment specification. ^[2] Swath is 19.5 km per the Open Cosmos mission page ^[1]; no independent confirmation of this value was available in the cited sources. The satellite's operational status as of May 2026 has not been formally updated in publicly accessible sources since the initial imagery release in early 2023, though data availability through Open Cosmos implies continued operations. ^[4]
