A Chilean start-up, Lemu, has ordered a 6U CubeSat from NanoAvionics which will become the country’s first private satellite. The satellite, to be called Lemu Nge, is set to host a hyperspectral imager built by South African company, Simera, according to the 2 December announcement. Lemu hopes to record data on the planet’s ecosystems in order to aid industrial use of natural resources and conservation efforts. The mission is set to launch on a Falcon 9 rocket in 2023 and will be equipped with an on-board propulsion system to facilitate re-entry at end-of-life.
