SequOIA-CAM
Status date: 14 March 2023
SequOIA-CAM offers an end-to-end biological carbon accounting, vegetation monitoring and carbon stocks sequestration rate simulation service for sustainable cities, regions, forest owners, and forest-related companies. SequOIA-CAM leverages the unique capabilities of Satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) that provides the necessary high spatial and temporal resolution and cost-effective monitoring capacity to ensure that nature-based solutions are implemented correctly and to ensure accurate quantification of carbon stocks in forests.
SWESAT
Status date: 04 November 2022
Remote measurements of snow storage with acceptable accuracy is a long awaited solution by the hydropower industry due to its potential in providing high number of data points and high spatial coverage. We demonstrate a novel approach to derive snow storage (SWE) by use of L-band radar measurements in combination with the interferometry technique.
OWASIS-NL CCN
Status date: 13 March 2023
OWASIS Water Auditing demonstration project made suitable for implementation in South Africa, Colombia and the Netherlands based on data availability and user needs.
SoilSignal
Status date: 13 March 2023
SoilSignal provides an accurate, scalable and reliable decision support tool for farmers, for soil health management including irrigation management and fertiliser management. Using Earth Observation data and Machine Learning/AI, SoilSignal, powered by Deep Planet’s AI platform, predicts soil health properties at 90% accuracy.
MoSCI-ECOSPACE
Status date: 06 March 2023
MoSCI-ECOSPACE is a service tool to assess the condition of ecosystems – like beaches, dunes or controlled flood plains – and man-made structures – like seawalls or dikes – in coastal territories and inform decision-making in case of ill-condition, damage or destruction, based on products derived from earth- and airborne- observing systems.
S4UG
Status date: 28 February 2023
UnitGate Satellite Broker
Status date: 18 February 2023
Satellite Broker - Easy Access to Any Satellite Service.
InYouSeq
Status date: 15 February 2023
Fauna Smart Technologies is developing a whole new process in farming to deliver a cornerstone tool called “Increase Your Sequestration”: InYouSeq. It is based on satellite data measurements in order to help farmers monitor and improve CO2 sequestration capacity in horticulture i.e. orchards and vineyards.
MaSSha
Status date: 15 February 2023
Development of VDES satellite network roaming, VDES-based maritime IoT services, and maritime DSC distress alert detection for effective search and rescue.
NHSpace
Status date: 15 February 2023
Astrosat are combining EO and ground-based data to create newly-derived satellite data products, as well as enhancing and adapting innovative datasets from earlier projects such as Isolation+ (Social Isolation Index) and ThermCERT (Fuel Poverty), to generate new insights and inform health-inequality root-cause analysis.
BOREAL ISR +
Status date: 15 February 2023
With this project BOREAL aims to demonstrate that using a SATCOM link for real time images transmission can enhance the range of surveillance operations of the drone BOREAL ISR beyond the current 60km due to classical radio link constraints. Thanks to the endurance of the BOREAL drone system, a range of up to 300km is envisaged.
MEO-CS
Status date: 15 February 2023
MOE-CS is a service dedicated to monitoring carbon stocks and fluxes related to land use and cover changes, based on both local annual estimates and land cover dynamics. The service also offers a focus on favourable agricultural practices, additional carbon potential and related co-benefits.
PinPoint: The Future of Tracking
Status date: 14 February 2023
The World’s First Intelligent Tracking- & IoT-solution – Through 2-way direct satellite communication. No more manual tracking and logistics - our systems handles automated tracking & logistics, via direct 2-way satellite communication - anywhere on the planet!
Space Augmented UAM
Status date: 14 February 2023
Space Augmented UAM aims to determine the feasibility of a “Space Augmented” service enabling cities and regions to conduct U-Space integration assessment utilizing economic, technical and environmental simulations for predictive assessment considering the individuality of each city to generate a self-sustainable Urban Air Mobility ecosystem.
Human Switch CCN
Status date: 14 February 2023
Automotive electrification will change the way energy is produced and consumed across the globe due to the resulting increase in local capacity of mobile battery storage.
The Human Switch enables increased update and utilisation of EV technology along with improved load balancing to support increased utilisation of renewables, helping to improve air pollution and CO2 issues.
The transition from fossil fuel to Electric Vehicles (EVs) will have a seismic impact in the utility, automotive and oil and gas markets as petroleum supply and infrastructure is replaced with power supply and storage.
Recent research has modelled the scale of these potential revenues, combining both the need for storage and V2G capabilities, where many EV owners can be aggregated into one, and their energy loads traded on the power exchanges.
Human Switch will offer two services; Human Switch Transition and Live Service:
EV8 Switch – EV8 Switch helps consumers and fleet managers make the right decisions about going electric, simplifying the process by analysing actual driving behaviour and needs. We know that range anxiety, cost savings, carbon footprint and operational compromise are common concerns, EV8 Switch uses real world data to help consumers decide if owning an electric vehicle will suit their needs.
EV8 Live – Ev8 Live will harness the potential for electric vehicles to become a central component in the energy system, helping customers make and save money through vehicle charging.
U-space2
Status date: 14 February 2023
The U-space2 study aims to identify and analyse the technical and economic feasibility of an Advanced and Specialized Traffic Information Service (A/S-TIS) exploiting space services such as SATNAV, SATEO, SATCOM, METEOSAT and ground services (5G) in support of UAM. The expected result is a A/S-TIS preliminary mock-up of the, its service and system architecture design, its development and business plan.
