AURA
NOTES :Launched June 2004 - Earth Observing System (EOS) Aura is a NASA mission to study the Earth's ozone, air quality and climate.
*************************
EXPRESS-AM
NOTES :Launched 2004 - broadcasting and communications satellite is produced by NPO PRIKLADNOI MECHANIKI - to provide a package of communications services (digital TV, telephony, videoconferencing, data transmission, the Internet access) and to deploy satellite networks by applying VSAT technology
*************************
SINAH 1
NOTES :This satellite is a 160 kg experimental payload built by Russia's Polyot, based in Omsk, and carries a remote sensing (some reports implausibly allege `spy satellite') payload. The satellite is 0.8 x 1.3 x 1.6m in size.
**************************
SSETI
NOTES :Launched Oct 2005 - The first pan-European student microsatellite, built by a distributed team of university students and radio amateurs throughout Europe, and sponsored by the Education Department of the European Space Agency (ESA).
********************
TOPSAT
NOTES :TopSat provides high resolution images of a specific location and can deliver them directly to the user in real time. It does this much more cost effectively than traditional Earth Observation satellites. TopSat represents the highest performance/cost ratio space imaging system in the world.
