NUS launches first two satellites

NUS has launched its first two satellites, Galassia and Kent Ridge 1, which were designed and built by its students, researchers and faculty. They were part of six Singapore satellites that were launched in the same operation. Prof Goh Cher Hiang, Project Director of the NUS Satellite Programme at the NUS Faculty of Engineering said that the satellites will be able to produce information at a much higher frequency which will be important in cases like disaster monitoring in the region like Southeast Asia.
