SSTL completes MDR for Nigerian satellite

SSTL have successfully completed the Mission Design Review (MDR) for the N2 satellite mission for Nigeria.

During the review, SSTL were able to demonstrate to the customer, National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), that they have a full understanding of the mission requirements and a clearly defined way to implement those requirements. SSTL and NASRDA have agreed the overall mission-level characteristics and the detailed design will be developed through to the Preliminary Design Review, which will take place at the end of May.

Customer representatives from NASRDA, along with their technical advisors, Telesat of Canada, attended two days of meetings at SSTL’s headquarters in Guildford.

The new 300kg satellite, for launch in 2009, will provide Nigeria with valuable geographically referenced high-resolution satellite imaging for applications in mapping, water resources management, agricultural land use, population estimation, health hazard monitoring and disaster mitigation and management.
