The main element of this mission will be the Spanish satellite PAZ.

PAZ was created by Airbus for Hisdesat which is the Spanish national satellite company’s subsidiary.

PAZ satellite is packed with the newest surveillance technologies, being able to capture images at very high resolutions. It is said to be capable of taking clear pictures of objects as small as missiles launchers.

Besides PAZ, the SpaceX’s rocket will also send two of its own internet satellites on the Earth’s orbit.
