Open Cosmos launched OpenConstellation at the International Astronautical Congress in Paris as a global shared satellite infrastructure built and managed by Open Cosmos to enable access to satellite data for climate, energy, natural disasters, and resource challenges.
OpenConstellation allows any country, institution, or company to contribute their own satellites to create a mutualized constellation managed by Open Cosmos.
Open Cosmos hopes OpenConstellation will expand to include 25 satellites with sensors offering varying spatial and spectral resolutions.
All satellites in the initial OpenConstellation generation are built by Open Cosmos and include multispectral RGB/NIR 12U cubesats.
The first generation of OpenConstellation satellites will start launching in November of 2022 with satellites contributed by space organizations in the UK, Spain, and Portugal.
Open Cosmos aims for OpenConstellation to provide a total of 25 satellites across future batches with a mix of spatial and spectral resolutions.
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.
