While Ghalib Earth Observation Satellite was involved in a feasibility study, ISISPACE constructed the 2U CubeSat platform, integrated the payload and designed and built a nanosatellite that could track the movements of falcons. The payload includes a radio receiver, made by Marshall Intech, and a camera that can capture images of the Earth as needed.
