NEE-02 KRYSAOR



The NEE-02 KRYSAOR is a PEGASUS class sateliite, which means that is a twin of the original NEE-01 PEGASUS, it was built after it and completed on June 2012, its primary function is to be a backup of the NEE-01 in case of any eventuality in the NEE-01 launch operation.

The NEE-02 will be launched in to a 98.7 degree inclination, helio synchronous orbit, 720km perigee and 890km apogee on November 21, 2013

Its mission is the same as PEGASUS, serving education and also acting as orbital sentinels watching for possible threats from small NEOs in last phase of atmospheric entry and helping to catalog orbital debris. Also it has the latest advances in active deployment of its solar arrays, high speed digital transmission and a higher resolution video camera.
