The Ethiopian remote sensing microsatellite, weighing 65 kilograms, was
successfully launched into space in December 2019 from the Taiyuan
launch facility, with the mission of collecting earth imagery data to
assist Ethiopia in combating climate change. The satellite is controlled
from a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 628 kilometers by a
ground control station on Mount Entoto. The purpose of this paper is to
provide an overview of the ETRSS-1 satellite system, including its
development and integration with AOCS subsystems, as well as its
performance in orbit. Furthermore, the hardware used in the development
of the satellite’s AOCS will be discussed, and onboard telemetry data
from the system will be analyzed to determine its current status.

Furthermore, the hardware used in the development of the satellite’s AOCS 16 will be discussed, and on-board telemetry data from the system will be analyzed to determine 17 its current status. 18
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
