Our engineers are involved in developing solutions, techniques and advanced research, showcasing our ability to embrace cutting edge scientific research and development, added Al Sayegh.The satellite will orbit 600 km above the earths surface compared to the 690 km orbit of DubaiSat-1. The orbit has also been changed from an ascending orbit (South to North) to a descending orbit (North to South), which will allow both satellites to work well in constellation as well as give better coverage of the UAE area.Among other significant improvements, the UAE team along with their South Korean Partners (Satrec Initiative) has designed the satellite to produce higher quality images at 1 meter resolution which can serve various applications including environmental projects, urban planning, infrastructure, telecommunications and electricity projects.The DubaiSat-2 project is a joint development programme between EIAST and Satrec Initiative of South Korea, in which 16 UAE engineers have been working on the design, development, testing and manufacturing of the satellite. The participation of the UAE engineers, who are currently working in South Korea, has increased by 100 per cent from the DubaiSat-1 project and it is hoped that this will take EIAST to the next level in satellite development.
So have they swapped launch sites? Original plans called for a launch from Dombarovskiy, not Baikonur!

Gunter's site list 22 satellites on the flight, but is missing information on PUCP-SAT 1 (apparently from Peru?), Pocket-PUCP, Eagle 1 and QBScout 1. I need the information in order to update a Wikipedia article. Thanks!
Launch is still planned from Dombarovskiy around 20 November 2012
Quote from: russianhalo117 on 10/30/2012 01:53 pmLaunch is still planned from Dombarovskiy around 20 November 2012Dnepr launch will not be this year. The next Dnepr launch should be with KOMPSat-5. DubaiSat-2 launch should be after KOMPSat-5 launch.
July/August Kosmos Proton-M/Briz-M Baikonur (or DM-03)
First EKS maybe?
