Cutting-edge new satellite launched by UK Space Command to provide crucial space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
Colleagues from Surrey Satellites Technology Limited watch the Space X Launch.
A UK satellite to support military operations successfully launched into space last night.聽
Named Tyche, the satellite is UK Space Command바카라 사이트檚 first satellite which can capture daytime images and videos of the Earth바카라 사이트檚 surface.바카라 사이트�
The satellite will strengthen the UK바카라 사이트檚 Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
As the conflict in Ukraine has shown, the use of space is crucial to military operations. Tyche is the first satellite to be launched under the Ministry of Defence바카라 사이트檚 space-based ISR programme, which will deliver a constellation of satellites and supporting ground systems by 2031.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
These satellites will not only support military operations, but also contribute to other government tasks, including natural disaster monitoring, the development of mapping information, environmental monitoring and tracking the impact of climate change around the world.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
Designed and built in the UK through a 拢22 million contract awarded by Defence Equipment & Support to Surrey Satellites Technology Limited (SSTL), Tyche is the first satellite to be fully owned by the Ministry of Defence.
SSTL received the first signals from Tyche 바카라 사이트� which is comparable in size to a washing machine 바카라 사이트� a few hours after lift-off, confirming the successful launch.
Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Maria Eagle said:바카라 사이트�
바카라 사이트淭yche will provide essential intelligence for military operations as well as supporting wider tasks across government.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
바카라 사이트淭yche also shows the UK바카라 사이트檚 commitment to support innovation in science and technology, stimulating growth across the sector and supporting highly skilled jobs in the UK.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
UK Space Commander, Major General Paul Tedman said:바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
바카라 사이트淭his is a fabulous day for UK space. The successful launch of Tyche has shown that UK Space Command, and its essential partners across defence and industry, can rapidly take a concept through to the delivery of a satellite capability on orbit.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
바카라 사이트淭yche represents the first of a future constellation of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance satellites that we바카라 사이트檒l launch over the coming years.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
바카라 사이트淚바카라 사이트檇 like to take this opportunity to congratulate everybody involved with Tyche and thank them for their support.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
Paul Russell, DE&S Space Team Leader, said:聽聽
바카라 사이트淲orking closely with UK Space Command, Dstl and industry to understand how to deliver in a new, complex and critical environment has been an exciting journey.聽聽
바카라 사이트淭o see Tyche - the first of a new generation of UK military capabilities - delivered into orbit is an incredibly proud moment and a tribute to everyone바카라 사이트檚 commitment to this key project.바카라 사이트澛�
Operating in Low Earth Orbit over a five-year lifespan, Tyche will provide timely space-based imagery in support of the UK Armed Forces. 바카라 사이트疶he design and build of the 150-kilogramme satellite has supported around 100 high-skilled roles at SSTL since 2022.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�
Tyche was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, by SpaceX, on their re-usable Falcon 9 rocket, as part of the 바카라 사이트楾ransporter 11바카라 사이트� mission.
