earth.esa.int →GEOSAT-2 is the second satellite of the Deimos Earth Observation system, following GEOSAT-1. A new collection of GEOSAT-2 imagery, offering high resolution and near-complete coverage of Spanish territories, is now being disseminated via ESA’s Third Party Missions (TPM) programme. ESA’s Earthnet Third Party Missions Programme presents the latest addition to its collection: the GEOSAT-2 Spain Coverage 2023. ESA’s Third Party Missions data access guide is now updated, providing the details of the latest data collections and changes to existing datasets. SUREDOS24 (Super-Resolution and Downscaling for Earth Observation and Earth Science) - provided a deep dive into how recent SR techniques are leveraging deep learning and artificial intelligence to push the boundaries of remote sensing. ESA’s Earthnet Third Party Missions Programme presents the latest addition to its collection: the GEOSAT-2 Spain Coverage 2022. GEOSAT-2 (formerly known as Deimos-2) is an Earth-imaging satellite, built for GEOSAT of Spain, which launched 19 June 2014 and remains operational. It is the second satellite of the GEOSAT Earth Observation system, following GEOSAT-1. The expected mission lifetime is at least seven years. A high resolution satellite, it became the first European fully-private satellite capable of providing sub-metric multispectral imagery. GEOSAT-2 was designed to provide a cost-effective and highly responsive service to cope with the increasing need of fast access to sub-metric imagery. It provides near-real time image tasking, downloading, processing and delivery to the end user. ESA will support as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limit available, therefore, for the "on demand" TPM, only a limited amount of products can be made available to each project.

Deimos-2 is a Spanish remote sensing Earth observation satellite built for Elecnor Deimos under an agreement with Satrec Initiative, a satellite manufacturing company in South Korea.
The Earth observation system was developed by Elecnor Deimos, who managed the engineering, ground segment, integration, tests, launch contract and LEOP, in collaboration with Satrec Initiative, who provided the platform and the payload. The platform is based on DubaiSat-2 launched in 2013, with a larger battery pack intended to last for at least 7 years. The satellite was purchased by Urthecast in 2015, together with Deimos-1 and Deimos Imaging, the division of Elecnor Deimos that was in charge of the operation of both satellites.
