Earth-i and Telespazio Vega Sign Memorandum of Understanding

Earth-i has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with space technology and enabled services specialist, Telespazio VEGA. This MoU will permit each company to provide each other’s specialist products and services to their respective customers. In the case of Earth-i, this will permit them to provide new and existing customers with advanced synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from the COSMO-SkyMed satellite constellation alongside their existing optical data. Telespazio VEGA is owned by European aerospace and defence giants Leonardo– Finmeccanica and Thales. Telespazio VEGA, accessing the four satellites of the COSMO-SkyMed constellation, and Earth-i with the DMC3 / TripleSat constellation, will collectively be able to offer seven highly advanced and complementary imaging resources with multiple imaging opportunities each day. Richard Blain, CEO of Earth-i, commented: “This agreement signed by both parties demonstrates a collaborative relationship between two geospatial companies who can now offer their customers the best of both worlds.” www.earthi.space
