A multi-million-pound satellite and information firm committed to solving problems on Earth has joined Space Park Leicester.
With more than 12 satellites delivered and even more in its backlog, Open Cosmos is deploying a constellation of sensors to monitor the Earth, taking advantage of the latest technologies. The firm has launched two Earth Observation satellites this year: Hammer, in March, and Phisat-2, in August.
Hammer, through a combination of Artificial Intelligence and Inter-satellite links, is able to retrieve near-real time information for coastal and high sea areas and other applications such as natural disasters. Phisat-2 is an ESA-Led 6U CubeSat designed to showcase the latest in-orbit AI that could further be used for Earth observation applications.
Last year, Open Cosmos secured a $50m round to accelerate the development of DataCosmos, a collaborative data platform to task satellites, store, process and derive insights from satellite imagery. One of its unique features is its collaborative interface allowing scientists and analysts to develop their own algorithms using satellite imagery and other sources.
At the end of last year, Open Cosmos was also awarded a £5m project from the Government’s Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund (SCIF) to expand its manufacturing and research and development capability for microsatellite and constellation
