Multispectral Unit for Land Assessment (MULA) is a 130-kg. Earth Observation, commercial-grade satellite being developed and targeted for launch by 2023.It will carry a TrueColor camera capable of capturing 5m resolution operational-quality images with a 120 km swath width, 9 spectral bands that can be used for environmental applications, an Automatic Identification System (AIS), and an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) which can be used for ship and aircraft detection and tracking.
