VRSS-1 (Miranda)
VRSS-1, also known as Miranda, was the first Venezuelan Remote Sensing Satellite flight unit, launched in 2012 for high-resolution land and vegetation observation and disaster monitoring.[1] It carried two optical payloads: PMC, with 2.5 m panchromatic and 10 m multispectral imaging, and WMC, a 16 m wide-swath multispectral camera.[2][3] The spacecraft flew in a 645 km Sun-synchronous orbit with a 10:30 descending equator crossing and used a CAST-2000 platform with a Long March 2D launch.[1][4] The mission ended in 2022.[4]
