Open Cosmos Expands Operations in Portugal

The company will take charge of the High-Resolution Earth Observation activities as part of the PRR Portuguese Space Agenda.

Open Cosmos will fully design, manufacture and test these satellites built in Portugal and include technologies and capabilities developed across partners in the growing Portuguese space ecosystem. Once in orbit, these satellites will be fully operated by Open Cosmos and will be a strong addition to the company’s growing OpenConstellation. Each satellite will fly EO (earth observation) and IoT (Internet of Things) payloads that are fully aligned with the monitoring of the Atlantic Ocean, land cover, biodiversity and the impact of natural disasters including wildfires, flooding and climate change-related events.

Open Cosmos Atlantic, the Portuguese subsidiary of Open Cosmos, is rapidly increasing its headcount and has rapidly grown a team of tens of employees.
