A 10 kg close range Earth observation satellite will monitor invasive species and agricultural crops in the Doñana region.

The launch of a 10 kg nanosatellite by the Andalusia Agency for Agriculture and Fisheries Development in October 2023, equipped with a high-resolution remote sensing optical camera, will monitor invasive species and agricultural crops in the Doñana region. An additional Internet of Things payload integrates data gathered from sensors on the ground and relays timely information to a ground station, managed by LifeWatch ERIC. This ‘SmartFood’ project will enable regional partners in agroecology to take corrective management action.
