Free and open Earth observation (EO) data offered by Copernicus program is creating both great opportunities and complex logistical challenges which need solving. The effort of making satellite data more accessible lead to the establishment of “Data and Information Access Services (DIAS)” projects, where Sinergise is taking part in 3 out of 4 consortia awarded by European Space Agency (ESA). After six months of strenuous work we are happy to see these projects entering into the operational readiness phase.

Free and open access to high temporal and high spatial resolution Copernicus’ Earth observation (EO) data is becoming a major game-changer in EO sector. New opportunities as well as new challenges are arising at the same time. With today’s kick-off meeting the PerceptiveSentinel project has officially started. It will help to ingest enormous amount of big data, unlock its hidden value and deliver added value to end user community.

We invite you to visit a new homepage of the LandSense project – a Citizen Observatory and Innovation marketplace for Land Use and Land Cover Monitoring.

We are excited to announce we are now members of the European Association of Remote Sensing Companies (EARSC), a non-profit organisation created in 1989 with the mission to foster the development of European Geo-Information Service Industry.
