DM Sat-1

DM Sat-1 was commissioned by MBRSC in collaboration with the Dubai Municipality and is the region’s first environment-monitoring nanosatellite. Its features represent next generation capabilities, deploying the latest techniques to monitor air pollutants and greenhouse gases. DM Sat-1 will provide data essential for the sustainable future of Dubai once it is in orbit. The project also aims to develop the technical capabilities of municipality management and environmental specialists, with a focus on finding solutions to climate change and other challenges. The nanosatellite is set for launch in late 2019.
