Sinergise

Slovenia became a full member of the European Space Agency (ESA) on January 1, 2025. We are proud that Sinergise can be part of this success story, which brings numerous economic benefits and promotes the development of advanced technologies. Under the auspices of the Slovenian Space Office and in cooperation with RTV Slovenia, an educational series titled "Veliki slovenski pok" (The Big Slovenian Bang) was created to mark this milestone. The series highlights the importance of participation in the Space Agency and Slovenia's contributions in various fields of research.

Broad area management is the practice of monitoring, measuring, and reporting changes across large, dispersed areas using Earth observation data. This approach enables stakeholders to identify patterns, make informed decisions, and respond quickly to dynamic conditions, such as forest health, deforestation activity, and other land use.

Join the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem webinar on December 11 at 14:00 CET (13:00 UTC). We will introduce you to online platforms for monitoring shipping traffic and show you how to compare their data with Sentinel imagery using the intuitive Copernicus Browser. Learn how to use Sentinel-1 SAR data to monitor shipping traffic through the clouds and even estimate the speed of fast-moving vessels.

Join the next Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem webinar on 22 October 2024 at 16:00 CEST (14:00 UTC). Our special guest Michael Engel will use examples from his experience as a mountaineer and tour guide, and explain how remote sensing data can significantly enhance safety in mountaineering and how simple web applications can already offer substantial benefits in hiking area management.

Have you ever planned your mountain trip using the latest satellite images? Or shared your route with friends overlaid on a satellite photo? Have you thought of embedding the latest satellite imagery in the smartphone outdoor mapping application you use? We hope to show you how all this can be done, and why it can help you stay safe and enjoy the adventure even more. Join our next Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem webinar on 23 July at 14:00 CEST.

A new addition to the collection of analysis tools for Terrain and Glacier motion services is now available through the GEP platform. A detailed time-series viewer was implemented for the datasets available in the Digital Twin of Alps (DTA) platform, making it now possible to plot displacement time-series, mean velocity and elevation along transects, and also to change the scale and filter out points based on their velocity.

Join us for our upcoming Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem webinar on 23 May 2024 at 14:00 CEST (12:00 UTC) where we will demonstrate how to use satellite imagery for geography education! We'll show you how to search, explore and navigate satellite imagery to explain geographic patterns and processes. Our limited ability to understand scale is often a barrier to understanding what forms the Earth system. We can only understand what we see with our own eyes, but the processes that create landscapes are often hidden.

A powerful tooling for unlocking Earth observation data
Planet Labs PBC has just launched the Planet Insights Platform, all-in-one destination for creating multidimensional Earth insights. This platform represents an important milestone as it brings together Planet’s product portfolio with the power of the Sentinel Hub, following the last year's joining forces. By combining analysis-ready Earth data products with cloud-based analytics, you can efficiently analyze, stream and distribute data at scale. This launch enables governments and organizations worldwide to unlock Earth observation data and make informed decisions.

Many applications require seamless, unobscured, high-quality images, and are limited by swath width or cloud cover in the Sentinel-2 datasets. The observation of landscapes, the creation of large-scale open maps, but also agricultural and environmental monitoring benefit from Level 3 analysis-ready data.

From 12th to 14th of February, UDENE consortium met in Ankara, Turkey, to kick-off this new project. Funded through the HORIZON Europe 2022 Space calls managed by EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA); the project will last until January 2026. UDENE, standing for Urban Development Explorations Using Natural Experiments, gathers 9 partners, from 6 countries including Tunisia, Turkey, Serbia, Italy, France, and Slovenia, to build sustainable urban environments addressing the challenges posed by increasing urbanisation and the effects of climate change.
