UrtheCast Corp. and its subsidiary Deimos Imaging, announced that they have been awarded a multi-million Euro contract through a consortium led by Airbus Defence and Space – and also including Planet, IGN-France and space4environment – to provide a very large set of Earth Observation products and services to the European Commission and the European Space Agency (ESA). The contract, known as VHR IMAGE 2018, involves the collection, processing and supply of cloud-free, seamless, very-high resolution imagery of six million square kilometers over 39 European countries. The data will feed the geo-information services with which European institutions and governments implement their environmental, land and crisis management policies. This dataset will be available to institutional users on European and national levels, and will serve a large range of applications such as the monitoring of biodiversity in riparian zones, coastal areas, risk and protected areas, and the update of Land Parcel Identification Systems. Deimos Imaging provides market-leading quality control processes, technical knowledge and significant expertise to the consortium. Additionally, Deimos Imaging's worldwide network of federated missions provides an exceptional capability to acquire very high-quality imagery with 1-meter or better resolution. Three of Deimos Imaging's core partners, Beijing Space View Ltd., SI Imaging Service and Twenty First Century Aerospace Technology Co. Ltd., signed exclusive distribution agreements to contribute to this project through Deimos Imaging, providing significantly increased collection capabilities.
