Status date: 14 February 2024
BST.COACH, a Czech digital youth sports platform has developed a reward-based outdoor exercise application using GNSS-stamped locations.
5G Drone Safety Module
Status date: 14 February 2024
Currently drones are not electronically visible, and it is not possible to determine accountability of a drone without searching and hoping you can find the operator. The proposed activity for the ESA Kick-Start project is to solve the issue of electronically identifying and tracking of drones.
PeaSat
Status date: 05 February 2024
The PeaSat project will develop a yield prediction package which uses satellite imagery to forecast vining pea harvest volumes around two weeks before harvest.
GAINS
Status date: 12 May 2023
GAINS is an “alternative data” platform for the Financial Services industry providing near-real time activity and leading-indicator production indices for a range of industrial supply chains such as iron ore and steel, and in future other metals, minerals and materials.
GAINS provides historic and near-real-time insights on the activity and production levels at hundreds of industrial sites worldwide on a daily or weekly basis, at a scale not previously possible, by harnessing AI-enabled remote sensing data fusion.
ABG
Status date: 30 January 2024
A data product harnessing wildfire impact data for carbon credit verification, estimation, and above-ground biomass change analysis in the growing carbon market.
3E Solar Data Services
Status date: 28 January 2024
3E Project Development solution provides accurate and bankable satellite-based solar irradiation data for solar power modelling: 3E Solar Irradiation Data. It is your go-to application to assess the long-term yield of future solar assets, improve the return on investment and evaluate operational plant performance.
PeaceEye
Status date: 27 January 2024
Monitoring and understanding of armed conflicts, Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus.
GSM (Golden Soils Monitoring)
Status date: 16 January 2024
Seqana is a Berlin-based startup developing a digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) service for soil organic carbon offset and inset projects, using Machine Learning (ML) and Earth Observation technologies. This Kick-Start project aimed to enable Seqana to acquire new ground truth datasets and to calibrate its ML models in Cambodia, Germany, and Kenya/Tanzania in collaboration with its local partners, respectively SmartAgro, CO2-Land, and Justdiggit. The relative improvement in accuracy metrics that Seqana achieved for each of the three calibrated regional models were an average increase in the final point-level test R^2 of 160% and an average reduction in point-level test Root Mean Square Error of at least 20%.
O-BOY
Status date: 10 January 2024
O-BOY is the first wrist-wearable that contains a satellite transmitter - therefore operates outside the range of mobile phones - and will offer a total package of services that can be lifesaving for athletes and adventurers in remote areas.
AirTracks
Status date: 08 January 2024
AirTracks is a flexible and cost-efficient Air Navigation Information Service for enhanced aircraft safety during approach and departure at small and medium aerodromes which do not have any aeronautical surveillance system (e.g. Radars). Airtracks combines various aircraft surveillance information (ADS-B, Mode-S, etc) in the vicinity of an airfield. The information can be visualized on a web-based display, showing the relevant/customized ancillary information layers in a user-friendly way e.g. flight plan, aeronautical charts, meteorological information as well as safety related notifications to aircraft pilots (NOTAMS).
AirTracks
Status date: 05 July 2018
Situational awareness is key in the aviation industry. Whereas many flight information services for scheduled air services transporting passengers, mail or cargo already exist, solutions for other parts of the aviation industry are scarce good. AirTracks is a dedicated flight information service solution that focusses on customer information needs in the fields of UAV and general aviation.
SatPDT-Demo
Status date: 26 December 2023
The SatPDT project aims to develop an innovative satellite-based digital product, called SmartPDT, that enables a safe and effective daylight therapy (daylight photodynamic therapy or dPDT) of skin pre-cancer and cancer, e.g. Actinic Keratosis (AK).
SP4GO
Status date: 26 December 2023
SP4GO is a solution to support the maintenance of electric power distribution infrastructures. SP4GO uses cost-effective and high-resolution satellite data to reduce inefficiencies and maintenance costs of high voltage power lines by detecting potentially dangerous situations related to the overgrowth of vegetation, the construction of new buildings that come too close to infrastructure and detecting land terrain change.
SP4GO is targeted to electric power Transmission System Operators (TSO) and electric power Distribution System Operators (DSO).
Space-to-Tree S-2-3
