Over the past few years, the number of CubeSats has been steadily growing, allowing them to be used successfully for many innovative and complex missions requiring much larger satellites. As a result, the space sector has seen a breakthrough in efficiency while reducing costs for designing, testing, and integrating these devices. In collaboration with Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and Sabanci University (SU), the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology (SAASST) has developed Sharjah-Sat-1, the first CubeSat mission of the University of Sharjah. This 3U+ CubeSat was launched on January 3, 2023, with two payloads on board. In addition, Sharjah-Sat-1 is dedicated to building the capacities of SAASST and exposing the students of the University of Sharjah to the world of space technology through a space engineering program. This paper will provide an overview of the dual camera system and a description of the tests conducted to ensure mission success. Following this, we will discuss in more detail how the images and data obtained from the camera were used to study the terrain in that region.
