- Description
- Satélite de Coleta de Dados 1 is the first satellite designed, built, tested, and operated in Brazil by INPE. It relays measurements from remote environmental data-collection platforms to Brazilian receiving stations, supporting meteorology, hydrology, ocean monitoring, natural-resource research, and public environmental services.
- Launch Site
- Outcome
- SCD-1 entered its planned low Earth orbit and began relaying environmental observations in March 1993. It remained operational more than three decades after launch, vastly exceeding its original design life and becoming a long-running element of Brazil's environmental data-collection system.
