ExactView 1 (EV 1, ADS-1B) is a microsatellite from the Canadian company exactEarth , which is intended to prevent ships from colliding.
It was brought into sun-synchronous orbit on July 22, 2012 at 6:42 a.m. UTC from Launch Complex 31/6 of the Baikonur Cosmodrome with a Soyuz launcher together with the satellites Kanopus-Vulkan , TET-1 , Belka 2 and Sond-PP .
The satellite is intended to be used to track the routes of sea vessels using an automatic identification system (AIS). This is a radio system for the identification and localization of cargo and passenger ships on the world's oceans. It was built by Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL) on the basis of the SSTL-100 satellite bus on behalf of COM DEV Canada . The planned service life is five years.
