Abstract
The Colombian Air Force, through the FACSAT program, intends to promote the Colombian space initiative to reach the level of independence that will contribute to the State interest with the participation of the Academy and the Industry. In order to contribute to the technological development in the aerospace area, this article proposes the operational orbit for the FACSAT-2 satellite mission, which objective is to obtain images that facilitate the detection and classification of extensions of Colombian terrain with the use of a satellite. The operational orbit is fundamental in the design of the satellite system and its selection considers factors such as operational requirements, location and extension of the country, launch windows, availability of commercial orbits and the results of different simulated scenarios and data obtained from FACSAT-1 satellite. Consequently, this development will enable capabilities to support decision making in the design and analysis of future space missions in the country.
