BEOSAT is designed as a multifunctional Earth observation platform equipped with a microspectrometer and a debris sensor. The objectives are to analyse gases in Earth's atmosphere and to detect the distribution of space debris in a 600-650 km sun-synchronous orbit. Other possible monitoring functions of BEOSAT are the detection of environmental pollution and the detection of light pollution to find new possible sites for Earth-based telescope locations that are not disturbed by the lights of nearby civilization. 4, record 1, English, - observation%20platform
