Associated space launch
KhalifaSat is an Earth observation satellite for UAE. KhalifaSat will provide high-resolution imagery of Earth to be used for various purposes, including urban planning, change monitoring, area classification, monitoring environmental change and aiding relief efforts for natural disasters. GOSAT 2 (Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite 2) is a Japanese satellite dedicated to greenhouse gas measurement from space. It's a follow on to the GOSAT mission and includes such improvements as an ability to gather more precise data and monitor carbon monoxide concentrations.
H-2A DEB * was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘H-IIA 202 | KhalifaSat & GOSAT-2’, on board a H-IIA space rocket.
The launch took place on Oct. 29, 2018, 4:08 a.m. from Yoshinobu Launch Complex LP-1.
