The first MYRIADE scientific mission has been launched on 29th june 2004., the second in december 2004 together with a constellation of 4 small satellites of the French Armament Agency developed by industry on a MYRIADE basis. Other missions are under study or development at CNES or at industry . MYRIADE is the result of a CNES in house development.
