XpressSAR selects IAI’s TecSAR
XpressSAR has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to purchase Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI's) TecSAR technology for its high-resolution x-band satellite constellation.
Under the agreement, XpressSAR will purchase up to four TecSAR synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites along with associated support services for launch, in-orbit testing, commissioning and establishing ground operations to control the constellation. IAI will be responsible for the manufacturing of satellites and other services needed to deliver an operational constellation in space.
XpressSAR will operate the satellites in inclined orbit for commercial and government customers worldwide.
The TecSAR satellite carries a SAR payload, designed to provide images during day, night and all weather conditions, including under cloud cover, for high-resolution intelligence operations. The TecSAR satellites are small and light in weight, providing advanced manoeuvrability and image resolution quality and quantity.
