MartBLUE

MartBLUE is a joint project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The goal of the project is to develop a Micro-Satellite that, among other objectives, plans to demonstrate formation flying capabilities and technologies for Earth observation and space science missions.

The Micro-Satellite is intended to be launched into space as a constellation of multiple affordable satellites, designed to enhance the information available from low Earth orbit and contribute to improved Earth observation data products. The project expects to provide space-based observation data to users in the fields of environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, emergency response, and crisis management.

MartBLUE is expected to operate between 160 and 750 km above the Earth's surface. The collaboration expects to use the Blue region of the radio-frequency spectrum, located at a higher frequency than the red region, owing its name to the combination of colors in a blue and red spectrum. Scattered signal propagation through the Earth ionosphere will be the primary point of data emission from the MartBLUE satellite.
