Open Cosmos awarded €60m for Earth Observation Constellation

The project forms part of the Hellenic Government's procurement of an advanced satellite constellation. The data collected from this constellation is expected to improve public services such as the land registry, combat sea pollution, and increase agricultural efficiency.

Open Cosmos was founded in 2015 with a mission to address global sustainability challenges by making actionable information from space available to everyone.

Part of this vision is the OpenConstellation, a mutualised constellation that is set to become the largest shared infrastructure in space. Greece will join in this global partnership of nations and companies in the private sector, exchanging data in respect of disaster responses and environmental monitoring.

In a statement, Rafel Jorda Siquier, founder and CEO of Open Cosmos, said: "We faced competition from some of the world's leading players in the industry, and to win is a true testament to the hard work of everyone at Open Cosmos and the strength of our advanced satellite technology. Delivering this contract will position us at the forefront of satellite data providers, opening up further collaborations and growing the OpenConstellation."
