Brazilian programme: INPE responsible of development and operations.
The platforms are spin stabilised (with active control of spin rate on SCD-2).
The design life time is 1 year.
The satellites are in low-inclination orbit for frequent coverage of the equatorial zone.
Redundancy is provided by flying the two satellites in the same orbital plane, dephased by 180°.
