Abstract:
Satellite technologies have a huge potential to help design more sustainable cities. Combination of Earth
observation imagery and crowdsourced data enables a creation of a series of data analyses and applications to support
smart urban planning, climate change mitigation and to enhance the quality of life in smart cities and communities.
SPACE-SI with its micro satellite for multispectral Earth observation, ground station, multidisciplinary laboratory, satellite
data processing chain and a distribution system based on web and mobile applications ensure the whole chain from the
space technologies to the end user friendly data and derived information. Timely geolocated information is crucial for well
organized smart cities and communities. Our expertise is near real- time processing of space-borne data and the extraction
of the needed information from this ever-growing data source.
