SaudiSat-3 is a Saudi Earth-observation and data-relay satellite mission. It launched on Dnepr from Baikonur on 2007-04-17 into sun-synchronous low Earth orbit near 655-678 km and 98.09 degrees inclination.[1][2] The spacecraft carries a high-resolution passive optical imager and uses a mission-specific SaudiSat-3 bus.[1][3] Its imagery supports land-cover and urban-change observation.[3]
