We want to revolutionize Earth observation by operating satellites at much lower altitudes than usual. Our satellites will be smaller, lighter and cheaper to launch while achieving a better resolution than today’s devices.
How is this possible?

Why it matters
How can we improve aerodynamics and increase the satellite's lifetime, while reducing drag?

The DISCOVERER project is pleased to announce it is hosting the first International Symposium on Very Low Earth Orbit Missions and Technologies and would like to invite you to be a part of it.
This symposium aims to bring together the industrial, academic, and policy-making community involved in, or with aspirations for, VLEO missions to share operational experience, relevant technology development, and current and future applications.
DISCOVERER scientists back in the lab
Dr. Vitor Toshiyuki Abrao Oiko (UNIMAN)
“Back in the lab! It feels different in many ways, some of the first days were exhausting, preparing the room, organizing it (it only took me a global pandemic to finally tidy it up a bit), and getting our experiment back to where we left it 20 weeks ago. It also feels good to see some familiar faces again, and some new ones too, even from a 2m distance in a barely populated building. Now it’s time to carry on with our work, get things going so we can have some nice results to show in the months to come. Cheers, Vitor”
