The Condor-E small spacecraft (SSC) with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is designed to obtain, store and transmit high-resolution microwave remote-sensing (RS) data to ground receiving and processing stations.

The SAR provides around-the-clock all-weather acquisition of the Earth's surface.

Components of the Condor-E SSC with SAR:

Unified spacecraft bus (USB):

• onboard control system;
• data gathering system;
• data transfer system (DTS);
• propulsion system;
• thermal control system;
• power generation system.
