The Ministry of Defence said the launch is the first step in a future constellation of satellites that will seek to strengthen the UK's intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
The first UK military satellite which can capture daytime images and videos of the Earth's surface has successfully launched into space. The 'cutting-edge' satellite - named Tyche - is part of a Ministry of Defence programme that aims to support military operations as well as natural disaster and environmental monitoring, mapping information development, and tracking the climate change impact.
'Tyche also shows the UK's commitment to support innovation in science and technology, stimulating growth across the sector and supporting highly skilled jobs in the UK.' Tyche, which is about the size of a washing machine, was designed and built in the UK through a £22m contract awarded to Surrey Satellites Technology Limited and is the first to be fully owned by the MoD.
