Summary

DUBAISAT-2, also known as DubaiSat-2, is an Earth observation and technology satellite launched by EIAST from the United Arab Emirates on November 21, 2013. The spacecraft was deployed using a Dnepr launch vehicle from Sh370/13 at DLS with a configuration based on the SI-300 bus manufactured by SATREC. It has dimensions of approximately 1.3 meters in length and 1.2 meters in diameter, featuring a span of 3 meters when fully deployed. The satellite weighs about 300 kilograms both at launch and dry mass and is equipped with an EOS-D camera for Earth observation missions. Its power system consists of four deployable fixed solar arrays and batteries, while it uses Hall Effect Propulsion System (HEPS) as its motor. DUBAISAT-2 was designed to operate for a five-year lifetime and has a shape described as Hex Cyl + 3 Pan with an RCS value of 1.777.
