(COSMO-SkyMed). The second generation of (Constellation of Small Satellites for Mediterranean basin observation) or (CSG) is an Earth observation program of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to replace the first generation (COSMO-SkyMed system).
For the second generation, the (COSMO-SkyMed constellation) has been reduced from four to two spacecraft. The satellites are improved versions of the original design. They utilize an improved version of the Prima Bus. The (CSG-SAR) And (COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation Synthetic Aperture Radar) is also an improved version of the first-generation (X-band SAR system). The contract was signed in September 2015. The satellites will operate in the same circular sun synchronous dawn-dusk orbit as the first-generation satellites with a nominal altitude of 619 Kilometres and an inclination of 97.86 degrees. The satellites operate in the same orbital plane. The (CSG-3/ALSO KNOWN AS/COSMO-SKYMED-FM-3) MISSION) was launched from a SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 Rocket, At (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg SFB, California, USA.
