Isathelayithi yaseBelgium iPROBA-V, iphuhliswe yiYurophu isithuba I-Arhente igqibe iminyaka eyi-7 ukuhamba ukubonelela ngedatha yemihla ngemihla malunga nemeko yezityalo kwinqanaba lehlabathi.
Isethelayithi yaseBelgium I-PROBA-V, ephuhliswe ESA kwinyathelo laseBelgium ligqibe iminyaka eyi-7 ukuhamba kwaye uye wanceda uluntu lwenzululwazi ngokubonelelwa kwedatha yemihla ngemihla kwimeko yezityalo kwinqanaba lehlabathi. Ubomi bokusebenza be-PROBA-V, bulungiswe ekuqaleni kwiminyaka eyi-2.5 kodwa buphindwe kathathu.
Kule minyaka isi-7 idlulileyo, isathelayithi yenze abasebenzisi abangaphezu kwama-4,000, abasuka kumazwe ali-120 iplanethi kunye nokumela malunga ne-1,300 imibutho eyahlukeneyo okanye iinkampani, ukukhuphela ezinye iimveliso ze-600,000 ezihambelana ne-1 petabyte (i-1015 bytes okanye i-gigabytes yezigidi ezi-1) yedatha. Ezi nkcukacha ziye zasetyenziswa kwaye ziya kuqhubeka zisetyenziselwa izicelo ezininzi kwixesha elizayo, ezifana nokuhlolwa kwempembelelo yokutshintsha kwemozulu, ulawulo lobutyebi bamanzi, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ulawulo lwezolimo okanye ukhuseleko lokutya.
Ukunikezelwa kwemveliso yemihla ngemihla kunye ne-decadal yi-PROBA-V ngokwenene iya kuqinisekiswa malunga nexesha lokwenene kude kube nguJuni 30. Emva kwalo mhla, ngenxa i-orbital i-drift, i-mission iya kungena kwimodi yovavanyo kwaye iya kubonelela, ngokuthe rhoqo, idatha egxile kakhulu eYurophu nase-Afrika.
