Paper Abstract
Satellite images help in studying various phenomena related to earth's surface. The range of applications varies from
agriculture, geology, coast and marine studies to urban development and environmental affairs. CubeSat projects belong
to the category of small satellites named Pico Satellites. They have a relative superiority over higher order satellites such
as Micro and Mini satellites in terms of their short development time, lower complexity, and most importantly less cost.
We present here an overview on the ongoing project EgyCubeSat-1, a Pico satellite that has a camera as an optical
payload with ground sample distance better than 100 meters, synchronous orbit, and low earth orbit in the range 600 ~
700 Km. The key innovation is the development of costumed optics that fit in the compact allocated space and result in
better resolution.
