The NUSAT-3C microsatellite owned by Satellogic (Argentina) was Built in Montevideo, Uruguay, by a Satellogic subsidiary company. The satellite weighs around 80 pounds (37 kilograms) and is identical to two ÑuSat satellites launched on a Chinese rocket in May 2016. Each ÑuSat craft hosts cameras to capture imagery in color, infrared and in the hyperspectral regime, which gives analysts additional information about the makeup of objects, plants and terrain in Earth observation products. The satellites can resolve features on Earth as small as 3.3 feet (1 meter) across. ÑuSat 3 is nicknamed Milanesat, after the traditional Argentine steak dish Milanesa.
