At the occasion on the Earth Observation Phi-Week at the European Space Agency (ESA) centre in Frascati this week, a unique consortium of specialised space companies announces the development of a new Earth Observation satellite calles “MANTIS”. This name stands as an acronym for “Mission and Agile Nanosatellite for Terrestrial Imagery Services”.
MANTIS will be the demonstration mission to jointly develop, build, launch and operate an innovative nanosatellite platform, flying a high-resolution Earth Observation camera.
