[4][5][6] MBRSC's objective with DubaiSat-2 is to provide electro-optical images, that can be commercialized, for users within the United Arab Emirates and beyond and to develop and implement new technologies not used in DubaiSat-1.

The participation of the UAE engineers, who are currently working in South Korea, has increased by 100 percent from the DubaiSat-1 project.

The electro-optical payload is a push-broom camera with Time Delay Integration (TDI) sensors (1 panchromatic and 4 multi-spectral bands).

[8][11] The modules in the satellite use two CAN Bus networks to communicate with each other and it has the capacity to store approximately 17,000 km2 of image data.

The mechanical bus consists of 2 decks and an upper sun shield to protect the cold propellants from solar and Earth radiation.

On the top, carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) struts hold the Sun shield at the baffle of the High Resolution Advanced Imaging System (HiRAIS).

[15] The power system supplies and controls the required voltage levels and current essential for satellite operation during its mission.

It is an advanced Earth observation Camera which captures high resolution images and is capable of other functions such as high-speed data transmission.

The Electro-Optical Subsystem is composed of the telescope, an auxiliary camera module, and a Focal Plane Assembly which are all integrated into one system.

[25][26][27] It has been placed into a polar Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 600 km and local UAE time of descending node of 10:30 am.

Thirty one other satellites were deployed by the rocket, with an additional payload remaining attached to the upper stage.
