“…There are two types of imaging mission planning methods based on point targets to transform the imaging mission into atomic tasks (atomic task is a non-separable basic unit in the mission planning model, which is completed by the satellite in one push-scan). The first category directly treats each point target as an atomic task [2,[9][10][11][12][13][14] whereas the second category transforms several point targets into atomic tasks through clustering [15][16][17][18][19][20]. The first category mission planning method can only deal with small scale point targets and greatly increases the computational complexity of the model, with a sharp increase in the number of point targets.…”

A unified description for the imaging mission of different types of targets is lacking, making overall optimization of imaging missions of complex multi-type targets (point, curve, and area) within a single pass difficult when using traditional satellite imaging mission planning. We propose an imaging mission planning modeling method based on the optimal mission decomposition/merge (MD/M) strategy for imaging missions of multi-type targets within a single pass of super-agile earth observation satellites. This method transforms the imaging missions of multi-type targets into an atomic mission set that can be described uniformly for integrated optimization scheduling. First, an optimal MD/M strategy was proposed for different types of target imaging (point, curve, and area) based on the characteristics of dynamic imaging. A mission optimization model was then constructed, with imaging coverage benefit and mission execution time as the objective functions, and an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to solve the model. Finally, the proposed optimal MD/M strategy and mission planning modeling method were tested by setting up seven groups of imaging mission simulation experiments with different multi-type target combinations. The result showed that the proposed "twostage" optimization method achieved integrated optimization of multi-mode imaging missions in dynamic imaging. The proposed optimal MD/M strategy can be applied in integrated modeling of imaging missions of multi-type targets. Moreover, the imaging mission planning model constructed with time-stamped strips as atomic tasks can perform efficient integrated planning of imaging mission of complex multi-type targets and ensures the effective performance of super-agile earth observation satellites.

The Emirates Institution for Advanced Science and Technology (EIAST) was established by the Dubai Government in 2006 with the goal of promoting a culture of advanced scientific research and technology innovation in Dubai and the UAE, and enhancing technology innovation and scientific skills among UAE nationals. EIAST launched in November 2013 the DubaiSat-2, its second Earth Observation satellite, and the first to provide VHR multispectral imagery. The satellite has successfully completed its in-orbit commissioning and it is now fully operational. ELECNOR DEIMOS is a private Spanish company, part of the Elecnor industrial group, which owns and operates DEIMOS-1, the first Spanish Earth Observation satellite, launched in 2009. ELECNOR DEIMOS launched in June 2014 its second satellite, DEIMOS-2, a VHR, agile satellite capable of providing 4-bands multispectral imagery. The whole end-to-end DEIMOS-2 system has been designed to provide a cost-effective and highly responsive service to cope with the increasing need of fast access to VHR imagery. The two satellites, with a mass of 300 kg each, were developed in cooperation with Satrec-I (South Korea), and are based on the SpaceEye-1 platform. The two satellites have an identical payload, and produce 75-cm resolution pan-sharpened imagery across a 12-km swath. Together, they have a combined collection capacity of more than 300,000 sqkm per day. EIAST and ELECNOR DEIMOS have set up a unique, trans-national public-private partnership to operate the two satellites as a constellation, jointly commercialize the imagery of both satellites, and interchange technical and operational information to increase the efficiency of both systems. The operations of the constellation are based on four ground stations: Al Khawaneej (Dubai), Puertollano (Spain), Kiruna (Sweden) and Inuvik (Canada), which assure at least a contact per orbit with each satellite. The constellation functionalities of the ground segment were developed by EIAST and ELECNOR DEIMOS in cooperation, in order to provide a product which is exactly the same, independently of which satellite acquired the image. This paper describes the main features of the DubaiSat-2 and DEIMOS-2 systems, their combined use in constellation, and the products and services jointly offered to public and private customers worldwide. Moreover, it describes the cooperation agreement between EIAST and ELECNOR DEIMOS, and provides an update of the operational status of both missions at the time of writing.

ELECNOR DEIMOS is a private Spanish company, part of the Elecnor industrial group, which owns and operates DEIMOS-1, the first Spanish Earth Observation satellite. DEIMOS-1, launched in 2009, is among the world leading sources of high resolution data. On June 19 th , 2014 ELECNOR DEIMOS launched its second satellite, DEIMOS-2, which is a very-high resolution, agile satellite capable of providing 75-cm pan-sharpened imagery, with a 12km-wide swath. The DEIMOS-2 camera delivers multispectral imagery in 5 bands: Panchromatic, G, R, B and NIR. DEIMOS-2 is the first European satellite completely owned by private capital, which is capable of providing submetric multispectral imagery. The whole end-to-end DEIMOS-2 system is designed to provide a cost-effective, dependable and highly responsive service to cope with the increasing need of fast access to very-high resolution imagery. The same 24/7 commercial service which is now available for DEIMOS-1, including tasking, download, processing and delivery, will become available for DEIMOS-2 as well, as soon as the satellite enters into commercial operations, at the end of its in-orbit commissioning. The DEIMOS-2 satellite has been co-developed by ELECNOR DEIMOS and SATREC-I (South Korea), and it has been integrated and tested in the new ELECNOR DEIMOS Satellite Systems premises in Puertollano (Spain). The DEIMOS-2 ground segment, which includes four receiving/commanding ground stations in Spain, Sweden and Canada, has been completely developed in-house by ELECNOR DEIMOS, based on its Ground Segment for Earth Observation (gs4EO ® ) suite. In this paper we describe the main features of the DEIMOS-2 system, with emphasis on its initial operations and the quality of the initial imagery, and provide updated information on its mission status.
