Unibap secures extension with European Space Agency (ESA) Space Solutions for end-to-end SpaceCloud® demonstration.
UNIBAP SECURES EXTENSION WITH EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY (ESA) SPACE SOLUTIONS FOR END-TO-END SPACECLOUD® DEMONSTRATION.
Unibap AB (publ.) is expanding the demonstrations and the rollout of SpaceCloud, providing cloud computing and cloud services in space. The European Space Agency (ESA) has extended Unibaps proposal through its Space Solutions initiative for demonstrating SpaceCloud end-to-end business model and technical feasibility to prepare for a commercial rollout. The extension adds another ESA financial contribution of KEUR 200. The extension will further evaluate SpaceCloud in orbit. Unibap will in addition carry out additional marketing and business development activities to strengthen Europe's position in downstream data driven value services.
Following the successful demonstration of SpaceCloud on D-Orbits ION SCV-3 Wild Ride and SCV-4 Dashing Through the Stars missions the business demonstration in the project will focus on geospatial Earth Observation applications including spectral and radar sensors.
The project will demonstrate how containerized, third-party applications perform on-board geospatial processing of Earth Observation data within SpaceCloud Framework running on SpaceCloud Hardware. Benefits include access to low latency data products, reduced cost of data downlink, and simplified application development within fields such as precision agriculture, crisis management, forest fire detection, oil spill and data communication.
Unibap will also perform business development activities to partner with more application developers, ground segment providers, payload providers, and satellite integrators and operators to increase the SpaceCloud ecosystem.
- We are very pleased to build on the SpaceCloud success and further expand our important demonstrations in-orbit with support from the European Space Agency. Especially since we have successfully hosted four ESA provided applications in various configurations on SpaceCloud. This support is very important to build the trust with the large community of international and national third-party application developers, says Lena W Jansson, acting CEO at Unibap.
