2 satellites under Thailand’s Theos-2 project ready to take off
Thailand is expected to launch two satellites under the Theos-2 project later this year, a government spokesperson said.
The satellites, co-developed by British experts and a team of engineers from Thailand’s Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, include the “Theos-2” main satellite for recording images and smaller “Theos-2A” for exploration.
Deputy government spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek said on Sunday that the assembly and testing of both satellites have been completed.
She added that the Theos-2 satellite is being kept at the Airbus Test Facility in Toulouse, France and will be launched from a launchpad in French Guiana in late August or September.
