On Monday 4th March MH-1, the first satellite developed, built and operated from Portugal (by CEiiA and Thales Edisoft Portugal) was launched. A group of Form 9 and 10 OBS students was invited to represent our school community in a special session about Space Explorers at CEiiA. Our students had the opportunity to observe where, how and why the MH-1 satellite was created. It was sent into space aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, to observe and monitor the Atlantic Ocean that borders Portugal. It is now in the Earth’s orbit at an altitude of 510 kilometres, slightly above the International Space Station.
MH-1 is the first of 30 satellites expected to be launched by the end of 2026, built and operated in Portugal for ocean observation.
