Digital Planet stands as a pivotal element in the New Space Portugal Agenda, with a primary focus on generating value-added products for the Earth observation market. Its core mission involves the integration and fusion of data from diverse sources, encompassing both 'in-situ' and remote datasets. The collaborative efforts of various co-promoters within Digital Planet aim to emphasise applications that leverage the unique characteristics of future constellations resulting from the Agenda, incorporating Very High Resolution (VHR), High Resolution (HR),Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), VDES/AIS, or Internet of Things (IoT) payloads across multiple verticals, including Defence and Security, Emergency Management, Agriculture and Forestry, Ocean, Energy, Smart Cities, andSustainability, among others.
All developed applications are tailored to address specific market needs, while also facilitating seamless integration into various commercial ecosystems. This necessitates alignment with requirements spanning different levels of interoperability, including data models and formats, APIs, and other standards related to quality, security, and scalability.
The primary outcomes of this work package include the Digital Planet platform, serving as an aggregator for products developed within the consortium, along with theEarth observation products that are either developed or prototyped.
