In 1971, Thailand had a satellite natural resource survey project by joining the NASA [[Landsat 1|ERTS-1]], which is a project of the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] (NASA) under the operation of the National Research Council of Thailand at that time. Due to the success of the project, the status of the project has changed is the division level name to "[[Satellite imagery|Satellite Natural Resources Survey]] Division" in 1979.<ref>{{cite report|author=Suwit Ongsomwang|date=2000|title=Remote Sensing and GIS Activities in Thailand |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242269757_REMOTE_SENSING_AND_GIS_ACTIVITIES_IN_THAILAND|access-date=March 18, 2023|website=researchgate.net}}</ref>
GISTDA owns the [[THEOS (satellite)|THEOS]] satellite, which was launched by a [[Dnepr rocket]] from the [[Dombarovskiy]] Cosmodrome in [[Russia]] on [[1 October]] [[2008]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.rian.ru/russia/20081001/117363703.html |title=Russia launches Thai satellite on converted missile |date=2008-10-01 |publisher=RIA Novosti}}</ref>▼
In 2000, the [[Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (Thailand)|Ministry of Science Technology and Environment]] has set up a new space technology unit by combining the Satellite Natural Resources Survey Division of Office of the National Research Council and the Department of Coordination and Promotion of [[Geographic information system]] Development Information Center of the Office of the Permanent Secretary for Science Technology and Environment, into the name of Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Public Organization).<ref>{{cite web|title=Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Public Organization) (GISTDA)|date=25 November 2012

In June 2018, GISTDA selected [[Airbus]] to build the [[THEOS-2]] satellite, an observation satellite that will replace THEOS satellite.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spacetechasia.com/thailand-selects-airbus-for-theos-2-satellite-total-budget-238-million/|title=Thailand selects Airbus for Theos-2 satellite, total budget $238 million|date=2018-06-19 |publisher=[[spacetechasia]]}}</ref> The satellite was launched by the [[Vega (rocket)|Vega]] rocket from [[Guiana Space Centre]] in [[French Guiana]] on 9 October 2023.<ref>[https://www.thairath.co.th/news/society/2731469 เปิดนาทีประวัติศาสตร์ ปล่อยดาวเทียมสัญชาติไทย "THEOS-2" ขึ้นสู่อวกาศแล้ว]</ref><ref>[https://www.komchadluek.net/news/society/560544 ปล่อยแล้ว 'ดาวเทียมธีออส 2' ขึ้นสู่วงโคจร ชมสด ภารกิจครั้งประวัติศาสตร์]</ref>
In October 2023, GISTDA made plans to launch an accompanying [[smallsat]], THEOS-2A, on a [[PSLV]].
===THEOS-3===
In September 2023, GISTDA announced their intention to build the third [[THEOS-3]] satellite, an observation micro satellite in a [[Sun-synchronous orbit]]. Its design is based on the THEOS-2A satellite.<ref>[https://www.mhesi.go.th/index.php/news/9460-gistda-theos-3.html GISTDA เตรียมสร้าง THEOS-3 พร้อมจับมือผู้ประกอบการไทยผลิตชิ้นส่วนสร้างดาวเทียม]</ref><ref>[https://www.bangkokbiznews.com/tech/innovation/1087867 แผนสร้างดาวเทียม THEOS-3 ตามมาติดๆ หลัง THEOS-2 สู่อวกาศ ต.ค.นี้]</ref>
