A conversation about the technical and commercial drivers of change in the EO industry, including constellations, bandwidth selection, deployable systems, satellite imagery data sources, and more.

Show Notes

In this episode we speak with Thys Cronje, Chief Commercial Officer of Simera Sense, about EO technologies and business models in today's industry. Simera Sense is an optical payload manufacturer based in South Africa, and is a member of the satsearch membership program. In the podcast we cover:
  • The frequency bands that are currently under-addressed in planned EO constellations.
  • Why some companies choose to vertically integrate EO business units, while others use more external suppliers.
  • The scope for deployable EO payloads to potentially provide better resolution imagery in the same size of satellites.
