In a world where most networks are owned or operated directly and indirectly by a handful of countries, data sovereignty is a top-of-mind concern for independent states, naturally directing the flow of thought to the next question in line: to buy or to lease a satellite?

As a continuation of the InCubed activity UKKO - Development and Demonstration of Technologies for Future Earth Observation Satellites, ReOrbit is planning an in-orbit demonstration as an independent standalone flight opportunity.

Deeptech EO analytics and platform company SatSure, along with its subsidiary KaleidEO, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ReOrbit. This partnership is aimed at developing innovative full-stack solutions to meet the future market demands in the Earth Observation segment.

Meet Ville Meskus, Head of Business Development – Defence at ReOrbit, board member of the Association of Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries, Finnish Digital Defence Ecosystem, man with many hats. From obtaining an industrial engineering degree in Finland to attending the oldest aerospace school in France, Ville's career transitioned from consulting and product management to head of business development.

EO satellites have taken a significant role in modern life in many ways, with space-borne remote sensing becoming an important tool for the implementation of ‘green’ policy objectives, such as climate change monitoring, environmental protection, and the movement towards more sustainable and transparent business actions.

Introducing Mikael Granit, a Machine Learning Engineer at ReOrbit, who envisions artificial intelligence as a key ally in addressing the escalating challenge of space debris and prolonging the lifespan of satellites. Mikael's fascination with the science and enchantment of space traces back to his childhood—he vividly recalls engaging in lengthy phone discussions about planets with his grandmother even at the tender age of 5, highlighting his innate draw towards the marvels of the cosmos. Read on to find out how Mikael turned his childhood dream into a full-time job.

While Sputnik-1 itself is a milestone should be celebrated, Sputnik-1 as a paradigm of a lonely and disconnected space must serve as a compass of what needs to change. What are we still missing? How do we improve the use of satellites and make them meet the demands of today?

ReOrbit has been granted a highly esteemed funding from Business Finland.

The new global market report “Software-first satellites: essential growth lever for space”, produced by ReOrbit, together with Euroconsult, explores the paradigm change that was brought about by New Space, which has accelerated the transformation of the sector enabling widespread access to affordable space technologies and services, boosting the overall market potential.
