World has only just started exploring value of Earth imaging datasets, says Basu
Bengaluru-based pioneering deep tech EO analytics and platform company SatSure says its partnership with the Helsinki-based leading provider of software-first satellites, ReOrbit, is to develop innovative full-stack solutions to meet the future market demands in the Earth Observation (EO) segment.
SatSure, along with its subsidiary KaleidEO, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ReOrbit for the venture in India.
The partnership is being announced following the liberalization of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regulations in India. The potential of the Indian private ecosystem is now made much more accessible and marks a new cornerstone for the India–Finland space ecosystem.
As a part of this partnership, KaleidEO will provide the bleeding edge of future-ready payload technology meant for sub-meter imaging capability, with unparalleled quality and AI analytics on board.
Meanwhile, SatSure’s proven downstream solutions and analytics stack will support businesses needing last mile connection.
The partnership brings together ReOrbit’s Earth Observation (EO) satellite with optical inter-satellite link capabilities for data relay, KaleidEO’s high-resolution sub-meter optical payload with AI-on-EDGE integration, and SatSure’s suite of business-ready EO solutions (SatSure Sparta). This paves the way for the future of EO constellations to network and communicate with each other, enhancing mission efficiency through integrated functionalities.
Through this joint proposition, the partners aim to provide a sector leading full stack EO infrastructure-as-a-service.
“This Indo-Finnish partnership shall leverage the best of both ecosystems for global market access,” says Arpan Sahoo, COO, KaleidEO.
The MoU with ReOrbit is a testament to the growing demand and awareness for true full stack EO solutions.
“Together with ReOrbit, we look forward to enabling the democratization of space and its potential for enterprises, governments and asset owners with very high-resolution imagery capabilities on demand,” Sahoo said on 21 Mar 2024.
“ReOrbit brings to the partnership the vision of the future of space applications where the transformation of satellites into truly intelligent, interconnected platforms requires satellite systems to be defined by software, which facilitates a complete network integration — from space to ground,” elaborated Sethu Saveda Suvanam,Founder and CEO, ReOrbit.
“This future starts today, and our partnership with KaleidEO for high-resolution imaging payloads and with SatSure for EO analytic platform and solutions fosters it, enabling us to provide a holistic space infrastructure-as-a-service to entities that need EO data for either business, sovereign or security requirements.”
Prateep Basu, Founder & CEO, SatSure & KaleidEO, added, “The world has only just started exploring the business value of Earth imaging datasets. We are excited to partner with ReOrbit and provide a one-stop-shop solution for customers, globally, to reduce the time and cost to deliver value from EO data and insights.”
KaleidEO, a SatSure company, is on a mission to connect the dots between the Earth Observations upstream and downstream sectors.
ReOrbit provides autonomous and interconnected satellites that are optimized for efficient and reliable delivery of customers’ space-related data. ReOrbit is creating the most compelling in-space data flow company, by augmenting the world’s information use via space. Fiinews.com
