THEOS, also known as Thaichote, [2] [3] is an Earth observation mission of Thailand, developed at EADS Astrium SAS, Toulouse, France.In July 2004, EADS Astrium SAS signed a contract for delivery of THEOS with GISTDA (Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency) of Bangkok, Thailand.
THEOS-2 (Thailand Earth Observation System-2), is a Thai Earth observation satellite. The satellite would be capable of observing Earth's surface with a resolution of up to 50cm, and covering about 74,000 square kilometers per day. [1] THEOS-2 was launched by a Vega rocket from Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana on 9 October 2023. [2] [3] [4]
NASA Earth science satellite fleet as of September 2020, planned through 2023. Earth observation satellite missions developed by the ESA as of 2019. Earth observation satellites are Earth-orbiting spacecraft with sensors used to collect imagery and measurements of the surface of the earth. These satellites are used to monitor short-term weather ...
A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites are mainly of two types: polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously) or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator ).
In June 2018, GISTDA selected Airbus to build the THEOS-2 satellite, an observation satellite that will replace THEOS satellite. [6] The satellite was launched by the Vega rocket from Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana on 9 October 2023. [7] [8] In October 2023, GISTDA made plans to launch an accompanying smallsat, THEOS-2A, on a PSLV.
The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin, based on the A2100A platform, and expected to have a useful life of 15 years (10 years operational after five years of standby as an on-orbit replacement). [6] GOES-17 is intended to deliver high-resolution visible and infrared imagery and lightning observations of more than half the globe. [7]
