To put satellites and the data they gather at the service of solving the biggest global challenges.
Satellite data is critical in order to solve some of the world's most pressing matters, such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity. While data and precise analytical tools able to draw insights are available, the problem is they lack interoperability between platforms, and the ability to combine this data from different satellites is inaccessible.
Founded in 2015, Open Cosmos is a SpaceTech startup with the aim to simplify access to space. The company designs, manufactures and operates satellites that are part of its "Open Constellation". Meanwhile its platform, DataCosmos, makes satellite data access easier for organisations and governments, combining earth observation data from multiple sources to help with the mitigation of environmental and sustainability challenges.
Partnerships with organisations such as Innovate UK, ESA and the UK Space Agency are supporting Open Cosmos as it expands operations, growing its team and ideas. 2023 has seen the company launch a nanosatellite named MENUT that "hitched a ride" on a SpaceX rocket, pass three milestone reviews for its next nanosatellite (that combines EO technologies with an IoT radio), and sign a deal with Satellite Applications Catapult to build and launch a key demonstration satellite that will perform pole-to-pole observation of Atlantic coastal and maritime areas.
