The satellite is equipped with an Earth observation payload, with very-high-resolution optical capabilities and completed by a ground system for monitoring, receiving and processing images. Itwill be controlled and managed by Emirati operators.The FalconEye satellite, to be orbited by Flight VS24, will be the space component of the system, and will have a dual mission: support the needs of UAE Armed Forcesand provide commercial imagery for the market. Weighing approximately 1,190 kg atlaunch, it will be placed in a Sun-synchronous orbit at 611km fromthe Earth.

Following liftoff from the Guiana space center, the powered phase of the lower three Soyuz stages will last approximately 8 minutes.
