Earth Observation Solutions
Earth observation is one of the most important tasks that space systems fulfill for the benefit of mankind. We use remote sensing and Earth observation data to find answers to a wide range of questions - in both civil and military environments.
We provide the basis for data-based decisions and offer comprehensive solutions for Earth observation. We support our customers from the selection of the right platform and sensor technology for data acquisition to the implementation of measurement campaigns and data processing and analysis.
To answer specific questions we select the optimal combination of satellite data, aerial photographs and measurements from other sensors to obtain a comprehensive picture. Through data fusion and the integration of AI tools we generate from the raw data understandable information that by our customers subsequently into well-founded decisions and actions.
Earth Observation for Civil Applications
In the civil sector, we focus on monitoring the environment and climate change. In this context, we focus on the evaluation of heat profiles in cities, the classification of surface types and the monitoring of the health status of vegetation.
In the area of infrastructure monitoring, we use optical sensors and SAR data to detect geometric changes to traffic routes and buildings or to identify the unsealing and solar potential of areas. identify the unsealing and solar potential of areas.
Earth Observation for Military Applications
Our many years of experience with the security requirements of classified government projects also allow us to provide remote sensing and reconnaissance solutions for military applications. In this context, we use for example drones and airborne sensors to validate and supplement satellite data and provide additional assurance for important decisions.
Our Services
We support our customers in selecting the right data acquisition platform (satellite, aircraft or drone) for their specific application. In this context, we can draw on the many years of experience of our sister companies OHB System, OHB Sweden and OHB Italia in the development of satellite platforms of various sizes and payloads for Earth observation.
Choosing the right sensor is crucial to obtaining meaningful data products. We help our customers to find the right sensor for their particular problem and, if necessary, make adjustments to optimize sensor performance. For example, our thermal sensor “RAVEN” enables the acquisition of high-resolution temperature data of the Earth's surface.
Our data processing services cover the entire process chain from raw data, atmospheric corrections and georeferencing through to generation and graphical processing of complex data products. In order to provide our customers with reliable information, we rely on both traditional and AI-supported methods.
We offer our customers various solutions for validation and verification of data. This allows the functionality of measuring instruments and techniques to be ensured and the quality of data sets to be verified.
