The factors driving commercial demand for Earth Observation (EO) payloads - with Simera Sense

The Space Industry

In this episode we speak with Thys Cronje, Chief Commercial Officer of Simera Sense, about EO technologies and business models in today's industry. Simera Sense is an optical payload manufacturer based in South Africa, and is a member of the satsearch membership program. In the podcast we cover:

• The frequency bands that are currently under-addressed in planned EO constellations.
• Why some companies choose to vertically integrate EO business units, while others use more external suppliers.
• The scope for deployable EO payloads to potentially provide better resolution imagery in the same size of satellites.
• The current structure of the market (including relationships between space agencies and private companies) and predictions of future developments.
