Operating the DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) on the International Space Station (ISS) makes DLR the first user of the revolutionary multiplatform system MUSES (Multi User System for Earth Sensing) that was installed on board the ISS in 2017 [MUSES platform was delivered in the Dragon trunk of CRS-11, and installed on ELC-4]. The launch of the DESIS joint venture is scheduled for summer 2018 from Cape Canaveral and will be lifted into space by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Expected date of launch – June, 2018Expected date of deployment from International Space Station – July, 2018
