The Falcon 9 rocket from the North American company SpaceX is sending two small Portuguese satellites into space, one from the company LusoSpace for monitoring maritime traffic and one from the University of Minho for educational purposes.
PoSAT-2, from LusoSpace, and Prometheus-1, from the University of Minho, are the fourth and fifth Portuguese satellites to be sent into space, after the nanosatellites ISTSat-1 and Aeros MH-1, in 2024, and the microsatellite PoSAT-1, in 1993.
