Surrey Satellite orders system for Nigeriasat-2 image management from Spacemetric.
(26 June 2008)

Spacemetric has received an order from Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (UK) for a comprehensive image management solution for the Nigeriasat-2 satellite being built for the National Space Research & Development Agency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This satellite features an agile platform carrying both a high-resolution and a 32m multispectral imager.

The solution to be delivered by Spacemetric builds upon its proven Keystone image management technology and provides the image catalogue, archive management and product processing functions for Nigeriasat-2. Support is also provided for the current Nigeriasat-1 satellite which forms part of the Disaster Management Constellation (DMC) coordinated by SSTL. The imagery from Nigeriasat-2 will be received, managed and processed in Nigeria and Keystone will have a key role in supporting an efficient and streamlined workflow for the timely supply of imagery to a range of applications.
