They can help aid social distancing on site by utilising satellite data and location data and this demonstration project will allow them to utilise this technology in 2-3 high profile venues and optimise this market opportunity before scaling to more venues.
DRIPIN
Status date: 17 February 2022
Ground movements are an important driver for water pipe failure. This project aims to integrate radar satellite based InSAR data into water utility strategic modelling and operational workflows to improve decision-making and reduce pipe failure and associated costs.
MELODY JUNIOR
Status date: 15 February 2022
MELODY is a robotic telemedicine tool, which allows a medical expert to remotely perform an ultrasound exam on a distant patient. It offers access to diagnostic capabilities for remote populations requiring ultrasonography. While it has proven to be effective on adults already, MELODY is however not approved yet for paediatric use. This activity aims therefore to develop and validate a solution allowing children to also benefit from remote ultrasound scan. This is of high interest during the COVID-19 crisis, as it will avoid travel to the rare paediatric centres while protecting medical experts from a direct exposure to the virus.
MOOD Decom
Status date: 14 February 2022
Feasibility study of digital services supporting decommissioning activities at sea through the provision of Earth Observation (EO)-enriched modelled MetOcean parameters relevant for operation planning and environmental impact monitoring.
SatNav E@syCare
Status date: 14 February 2022
SatNav E@syCare is an advanced service, with mobile Apps and a cloud-based application, for the remote monitoring of vital parameters and well-being information of chronic patients and people at risk by general practitioners, specialist doctors and nursing operators on the field. The service is operated according to personalized healthcare plan. SatNav E@syCare exploits GNSS technology to provide enhanced functionalities and location-based data analysis results.
atPACE
Status date: 14 February 2022
A project-centric, situational awareness portal aiding construction and decommissioning of offshore installations. Rich insights are engineered from Earth Observations, AIS, weather, sea state and various GIS data repositories and combined with in-situ surveys and sensor data. All information is dynamically shared amongst project stakeholders creating common understanding, transparency, and improved efficiency.
SpaceSense SOC
Status date: 14 February 2022
This Kick-Start Activity creates several satellite-based models that could be used to track Recommended Farming Practices (RFP) for carbon sequestration at a sub-field level (10m, based on Sentinel 1 & 2 data), and provide these information to companies creating Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) stock models. They will be focused on the three following detectors:
Cover Crop Flag: Is the field using cover crops between main crops?
Crop Rotation Diversity Indicator: How do the crops rotate in the field?
Tilling Flag: Is the field being tilled or not between crops?
SAT-DEFO FS
Status date: 26 November 2018
SAT-DEFO project purpose is to build an app with data-proven, valid, both historical and current information about ground deformations for the inhabitants of the areas who are exposed to such changes (especially in the localizations threatened by ground subsidence caused by mining activity).
SISMA2
Status date: 03 February 2022
The objective of the SISMA2 demonstration project was to implement cost-effective space-based tools and demonstrate the value of our smart-herding solution to monitor herd activities (large terrestrial animals raised outdoors, domestic, and wild) and their vulnerability factors, to modernize the herding industry and increase the plasticity of adaptation of reindeer husbandry to climatic changes in the environment and to the evolution of regional contexts.
SAQM
Status date: 03 February 2022
Man-made air pollution leads to 5.5-8.5 million deaths each year and causes countless chronic respiratory conditions. Traffic is the most important source of this pollution. Using satellite data, Satellite Air Quality Models (SAQM) are the most detailed air pollution maps for cities around the globe. Our portal allows users instant access to the air pollution data, benefiting everyone.
SAQM FS
