  - description: 'TopSat is a UK (United Kingdom) collaborative low-cost satellite mission of QinetiQ (formerly DERA), SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.), RAL (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory), and Infoterra, funded by the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD) and by the BNSC (British National Space Centre) small satellite initiative (Mosaic). The overall objectives are to demonstrate the capabilities of small spacecraft on a high-resolution imaging mission, including an end-to-end ground segment with services for a commercial user community (direct user access, innovative solutions).'
