Singapore's first satellite, Elite, developed by Nanyang Technological University (NTU), will orbit at 250 km above Earth, closer than most satellites. Set to launch in mid-2025, the Extremely Low Earth Imaging Technology Explorer will test novel, locally developed devices and assess the feasibility of more Singaporean satellites operating in similar orbits. At 1.3 meters tall, Elite is the university's 14th satellite and the largest and most complex to date.
