Paris, 24 June 2021. – The space transportation and logistics company D-Orbit will launch and deploy a cubesat from Aistech Space on its ION satellite carrier, the startup based in Como, Italy said.

Guardian will be launched and deployed with its ION Satellite Carrier, the orbital transportation vehicle designed, manufactured, and operated by D-Orbit to transport a batch of satellites.

Aistech Space is planning to deploy a constellation of 20 Guardian satellites, D-Orbit said.

“This will be one of the first commercial constellations able to collect thermal data on demand”, it said. Information captured by Aistech Space’s multi-spectral telescope is supposed to support decision making in water management, forestry, environmental monitoring, and maritime security.
