📋 Tender Overview
The Peruvian Space Agency - CONIDA highlights the 9 years of operation of PeruSAT-1, the most advanced observation satellite in the region, which since 2016 has become an essential tool to take care of our territory and optimize public management.
In these nine years, the Peruvian satellite system has delivered more than 130 thousand high-resolution images, allowing the State to save more than S/ 2.2 billion by avoiding the purchase of data abroad.
Technology that saves lives and protects resources
The images from PeruSAT-1 are used to:
Respond to natural disasters such as fires, landslides and floods.
Identify clandestine leads and illicit activities in remote areas.
Detect illegal logging and mining, supporting environmental protection operations.
Strengthen agriculture, anticipating droughts, pests and water stress.
Plan cities and update cadastres, reducing urban risks.
During the fires of 2023-2024, for example, the satellite made it possible to monitor 12 regions and guide rapid action by the State.
GeoAPP: direct access to spatial information about Peru
Although it has been proven that the service provided by the Peruvian Satellite System far exceeds its investment cost, CONIDA continues working to achieve increasingly efficient management. In order to reduce costs for public entities and encourage greater use of satellite information, the GeoAPP has been made available, a platform that simplifies access to PeruSAT-1 images.
Today, more than 40 institutions use GeoAPP to obtain updated data on the national territory, which opens a key opportunity for more sectors to take advantage of this strategic resource.
PeruSAT-1 is much more than a satellite: it is a tool that saves lives, protects our resources, reduces expenses for the State and strengthens the countrys sovereignty. At 702 km high, it continues to fulfill its mission: to monitor, protect and serve Peru every day.
