                            FIREBIRD

                            FireBIRD is an earth observation mission and consists of the two satellites TET-1 and BIROS (Bispectral Infrared Optical System), each of which carries a camera system developed at DLR for the visible and infrared spectral range as the main payload. Both are based on the BIRD small satellite, which was also developed and built by the DLR Institute for Optical Sensor Systems.

                            TET-1 Satellite

                            The small satellite TET-1 was developed and built on behalf of the DLR space agency by the German medium-sized companies Kayser-Threde GmbH and Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH (“Astrofein” for short), with Kayser-Threde GmbH as project manager, particularly for payload integration was responsible. The TET satellite bus was developed by “Astrofein” based on the BIRD model with the support of the DLR Institute for Optical Sensor Systems. It is designed as a so-called “multi-mission bus”, which means it can be used for other small satellite missions, such as: B. BIROS, was and is reusable.
