OSM-1 CICERO
2020
September, 2nd
OSM launched its first satellite, OSM-1 CICERO, from the Kourou space center in French Guyana, with Arianespace’s Vega VV16 rocket.
This 10kg, 10x20x30cm nanosatellite, the first satellite ever made in Monaco, carried a sophisticated radio occultation (RO) payload originally conceived at JPL/NASA and its mission is to collect atmospheric/weather data. This satellite became part of the CICERO fleet promoted by GeoOptics and commercial data sales to NOAA, the world’s foremost weather agency, started within a few months after launch.
