ST Engineering to deliver advanced SAR satellite

The sub-metre imaging resolution will boost disaster response and security capabilities.

ST Engineering has been selected by FADA, the space-focused entity under the UAE’s EDGE Group, to deliver a pioneering Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite for the UAE National SAR Constellation Programme, Sirb.

This strategic project aims to enhance the UAE's Earth observation capabilities for both government and commercial applications. ST Engineering's contract encompasses the design and delivery of the high-resolution SAR satellite and the complete mission control infrastructure required for its operation, according to a press release.

The satellite will provide state-of-the-art imaging with sub-metre resolution and a high-speed downlink, ensuring reliable day-and-night, all-weather imaging capability. The new system will support critical applications, including disaster response, environmental monitoring, and national security.

The project has successfully completed the SAR system design review. The next phases involve the assembly, integration, and rigorous operational testing of the satellite.
