OpenConstellation is a project that aims to create a global, shared satellite infrastructure for Earth observation, built and managed by Open Cosmos. It operates as a "constellation-as-a-service" that allows organizations to access satellite data to address global challenges like climate change and natural resource management. Satellites are contributed by space agencies, countries, institutions, and companies, with organizations like UKSA, ESA, and IEEC supporting the initiative. The constellation provides diverse data with varying spectral and spatial resolutions, accessible through Open Cosmos' DataCosmos platform.
All verified mentions of this organization in source documents.
Open Cosmos will manufacture and manage the launch of OpenConstellation smallsat platforms and will be responsible for satellite housekeeping and the downlinking and processing of payload data.
All satellites in the initial OpenConstellation generation are built by Open Cosmos and include multispectral RGB/NIR 12U cubesats.
Open Cosmos aims for OpenConstellation to provide a total of 25 satellites across future batches with a mix of spatial and spectral resolutions.
