Oman Lens has announced plans to launch its second satellite by 2026, building on the success of its first AI-powered optical satellite, OL-1. The upcoming satellite will feature sharper imaging with a 50-centimeter resolution, significantly advancing Oman’s space technology capabilities under Oman Vision 2040.
OL-1, launched in November 2024, became Oman’s first optical satellite registered with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). With its one-meter resolution, OL-1 provides real-time spatial data and imagery to support urban planning, environmental monitoring, and resource management.
The new satellite will expand these capabilities by delivering clearer Earth observation data to monitor infrastructure, track urban growth, and support sustainable development initiatives. Oman Lens confirmed that this launch is part of a larger plan to deploy a constellation of 20 satellites, aimed at equipping government bodies, private enterprises, and research institutions with advanced geospatial intelligence.
The initiative underscores Oman’s ambition to strengthen its presence in the global space sector while driving national innovation and sustainable development.
