Abstract

TIGRIsat is the first Iraqi satellite. It has been launched on June 19th 2014, becoming the first Iraqi satellite. The small spacecraft is a 3 Unit CubeSat nanosatellite, weighting under 4 kg and carrying a camera for monitoring dust and sand storms over Iraq. TIGRIsat has been built by Iraqi post-graduate students within a bilateral Italian-Iraqi collaboration. The payload of the satellite has been designed to target an area covering all the surface of Iraq, and producing images which will be transmitted to the ground stations and processed to identify sand and dust storms occurring in that area.
