Razaksat:
RazakSAT is a high-resolution Malaysian Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite that is scheduled to be launched on board a Falcon 1 in June 2009. It will be put into a unique Near Equatorial Orbit that will present many imaging opportunities for the equatorial region.
The RazakSAT® satellite is planned to be launched near in the future on a USA launcher Falcon 1 owned and operated by the company Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX). It will be a dedicated launch from kwajalein in the Republic of Marshall Islands which is situated very close to the equator to give the best orbital injection for RazakSAT® , i.e. near equatorial orbit (NEqO). RazakSAT®s images would be applied to forestry, fishery, migration and other areas that will benefit the nation.
