QPS-SAR-5 is a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite that will join a constellation after QPS-SAR-6 already in orbit. iQPS’s satellites are small, high-performance SAR satellites that use a lightweight, large, stowable antenna to collect high resolution images of Earth, even through clouds and adverse weather conditions.
Limiting rule: No flight through a thick (>4500 ft) cloud layer extending across the freezing level.
≥60% layer 4738–9862 ft (5125 ft thick) — approximated · 81% cloud cover in layer above freezing (7933 ft) — approximated
