Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
ThermCERT
Status date: 12 December 2019
Fuel poverty is an increasingly large social problem in the Great Britain, as well as in the rest of Europe. Ageing, inefficient building stock and rising fuel prices are pushing more and more households into fuel poverty.ThermCERT reduces the complexity, cost and time spent identifying households who may qualify for Energy Company Obligation (ECO) support, allowing energy suppliers to deliver their obligation more efficiently.
BFPaaS
Status date: 11 December 2019
The terrain profiles play increasingly critical role in the risk assessment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) operations planning and related risk assessment.The BFPaaS service is aimed to create an automated system providing terrain profile (derived from the Sentinel-1 radar imagery and other data sources) along the pre-defined route.
ThermCERT Feasibility Study
Status date: 11 December 2019
The European Commission established a long-term objective of decreasing the CO2-emission levels for the building sector by 27% by 2030.Every third building in Europe is in need of deep renovation (older that sixty years). People in these houses are overpaying for the heating many times. That is both economically and environmentally harmful. Buildings account for 40% of the EU's energy consumption, 36% of its CO2 emissions. Current annual building renovation rate in Europe is below 2%.The actual thermal performance of building stock is the critical element for situation awareness, impacting progress on energy efficiency measure uptake. Utilising Earth observation, satellite navigation and ground level data, ThermCERT represents a crucial aid in helping to understand the true thermal performance of the city built environment, highlighting the energy efficiency problematic areas and issues.
SIITAg
Status date: 11 December 2019
Agriculture is comparatively the most important core industry in the world. For feeding the 9 billion people expected to inhabit the Earth by 2050, our agricultural production must increase by 75%. This is a major global challenge while the arable land is limited, and climate change is making its cultivation unpredictable. Moreover, farming is a time-critical process everywhere on the globe and that triggers Spacenus GmbH, an Agricultural Information Technology (AgIT) company, to develop tools based on satellite data and artificial intelligence to make farming more efficient and easier.
B-SURE
Status date: 05 December 2019
B-SURE reduces disaster management response time.The main B-SURE service is rapid collection and bandwidth-efficient secure communication of operationally relevant field information. The baseline field platform is a smartphone, while information managers access data and interact with the field users via Web browsers online on secure servers. The field users cover professionals, civ/mil population and small UAV operators.
Village Data Analytics
Status date: 02 December 2019
Village Data Analytics (VIDA) is a software-enabled service that automatically identifies remote villages and determines their suitability for a micro-grid installation using earth observation data and machine learning algorithms.VIDA can be scaled across large user-defined areas to find a portfolio of viable micro-grid sites. This data-driven knowledge de-risks projects, reduces time and planning costs and enables investment at scale.
TT-GSAT
Status date: 29 November 2019
The aim of TT-GSAT is to offer a test and trial environment for emergency personnel and industry where it is possible to touch, try out and play with real building blocks in order to creatively find and implement new solutions. These building blocks can be individually combined with each other in order to try out and test the interaction of different equipment in different deployment scenarios.
SpaceChain
Status date: 27 November 2019
The multisignature wallet makes digital currency transactions more secure by requiring two approvals for each transaction, one from the user and one from the satellite. The security of transactions are guaranteed via satellite hardware isolation, a multiple approval model, and secure satellite communication making the transaction resistant to hacking.
SAQM
Status date: 27 November 2019
The project objectives are to establish whether city scale produced vehicle detections from very high-resolution earth observation satellites can improve traffic emissions within air quality models, to fulfil our customer’s needs in a cost effective and timely manner.
MULDIARCOS
Status date: 27 November 2019
The MULDIARCOS project has implemented and demonstrated a cohesive end-to-end delivery chain of satellite imagery and met-ocean data. The implemented service has been demonstrated during maritime operations in the Arctic. Arctic maritime operations often have a need of fast and regular earth observation and weather information. In the project, focus has been on streamlined and effective ordering, delivery procedures due to limited and expensive communication channels to the vessels during the operations.
