If you care about the future, you also care about our planet. Greenhouse gas emissions caused by forest degradation and deforestation are one of the largest causes of global warming. Many organizations have a negative impact on the extent and quality of our forests. It is time we change that. We map what matters. Through our crowd — a big, global community of people who care about our planet just as much as we do — we build maps and information products of high quality and reliability. Our forest monitoring services can be adjusted to your specific needs, so you will get exactly the information you need.

COMBINED CONNECTION SAT and DSL for SMART BALANCING and BACK UP project aims to develop a complete and innovative end to end platform to combine dynamically traffic between a SAT connection and a xDSL connection available in the user premises to guarantee improved overall link capacity and link continuity 

Re-using civil aircraft to create constellations for providing high spatial & temporal Earth observation data and telecommunication services; a most ecological constellation re-using the most reliable platform.

Migration Radar 2.0 services are aimed at optimizing the prognosis for different stakeholders involved in the field of migration, operating at different roles and capacities. Big datasets stemming from space assets and social media are combined with existing migration datasets to develop information-enriched products, customized to the user needs. Provisioning these products in the form of automated, user-intuitive and flexible services helps the stakeholders in optimizing their decision making processes in a timely and accurate manner.  

The study aims at assessing the technical feasibility and economic viability of services enhancing human migration crisis management, through the use of Big Data solutions and RPAS.

TeleRetail automates regional logistics to save millions of users billions of hours while minimizing the ecological footprint of transportation. Its activities include the development of automated on demand courier robots for same day delivery services in urban and sub-urban areas. The company's technology reduces the space, cost and energy requirements of local logistics by up to 90%.

The preservation of safety and information distribution in the maritime transport market is currently enabled by systems, which already show signs of overload, such as AIS. SENSE is a feasibility study to analyse and assess the use of space assets, and in particular VDES, for maritime navigation systems. The project aims at developing a viable system services concept closing the information gap between ship and shore. SENSE’s core value is information exchange using worldwide standardized dataflows and thus ensure easy scalability and integration of new vessels.

SEMAFORS, the Ship Efficiency Monitoring, weAther Forecasting and Optimised Routing Service is a user focused project in support of the shipping industry.

SEMAFORS will investigate, establish and demonstrate through sea trials a concept to improve ship fuel efficiency by providing the means to better planning, avoiding of adverse weather and by making better use of ocean currents. 

Based on mobile phone detectors and data correlation from other sources such as satellite, maritime and radar systems, SeaSearch focuses on the detection of small vessels at sea and generates Maritime Situation Awareness Pictures.

TILQ-AP is an integrated application designed to help cities in impact management of climate variables on elderly population life quality. It integrates satellite data (EO and meteorological) with medical and demographic data to monitor and send alerts on upcoming heat waves in cities (including the “Urban Heat Island” effect) that might be dangerous for elderly people.

FULLVIEW-SAT aims at implementing a solution to deliver a live immersive 360 degrees multicasting of sport events for Major and Minor sport leagues. FULLVIEW-SAT makes use of state-of-the-art Satellite News Gathering (SNG) based on of High Throughput Satellite and full IP solutions. The content is then delivered to the users via Internet; a dedicated App and visors will allow users watching at sport events as they were in the different location of the football field, providing an immersive experience.

Intelligent Integrated Information System for Sustainable Fisheries Management via Satellite (iFishSAT) has developed a range of solutions that exploit space assets (Communication, Earth observation and GNSS satellites) to streamline the fresh seafood value chain by allowing fishermen to sell produce to customers whilst still at sea thus, providing direct linkage to a broader customer base and without geographical limitations as well as reducing waste through discard of produce that is desirable in the local market. This new model for the seafood industry transforms it from a local or regional activity to a Europe-wide open marketplace where profit for fishermen is enhanced whilst also ensuring that retailers and consumers get the best quality produce at prices that are not unduly inflated by agents’ fees. 

The Ovinto SaMoLoSa demonstration project addresses the use of satellite technology for the reduction of transport risk, security enhancement and optimisation of logistic operations by the tracking and monitoring of extremely dangerous goods in unpowered, mobile transport units such as rail tank cars and intermodal tank containers.
