The Project for On-Board Autonomy (Proba) is a technology demonstration mission of the European Space Agency, funded within the frame of ESA's General Support Technology Programme. It is managed by ESA??s Control and Data Systems Division within the Department of Electrical Engineering, part of the Directorate for Technical and Operational Support at ESA/ESTEC. Work on the project began in mid-1998 and Proba was successfully launched on 22 October, 2001, initially for a one-year mission. Proba objectives The objectives of Proba are: -in-orbit demonstration and evaluation of new hardware and software spacecraft technologies - in-orbit demonstration and evaluation of onboard operational autonomy - in-orbit trial and demonstration of Earth observation and space environment instruments More Information: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Proba_web_site/index.html Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: PROBA-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: PROBA-1 Long_Name: Project for On-Board Autonomy, PROBA-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: PROBA End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: PROBA.CHRIS.1A Short_Name: HRC Short_Name: WAC Short_Name: SREM Short_Name: DEBIE Short_Name: SIPS Short_Name: MRM Short_Name: PASS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 615 km Orbit_Inclination: 98.75 deg Period: 101.3 min Repeat_Cycle: 16 days Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-21 Online_Resource: http://www.esa.int/esaMI/Proba_web_site/ Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2001-10-22 Launch_Site: Sriharikota Island, India Primary_Sponsor: ESA End_Group End_Group
