Telespazio UK Wins Contract for EO DataHub Software Development and Operations

Telespazio UK is teaming up with several organizations, including the National Centre for Earth Observation, the National Physical Laboratory, Met Office, Satellite Applications Catapult, and the UK Space Agency. Together, they aim to create a central software platform called the EO DataHub. This platform will act as a one-stop access point for Earth Observation (EO) data from various public and private sources in the UK.
The EO DataHub Platform's main goal is to make it easier for application developers and Earth Observation experts to find, access, and analyze EO data from different places. The platform will ensure that the data is in a consistent format and easily accessible for the end-user community.
This project is just the beginning, with plans to add user-friendly applications to the Hub Platform software in the future. Telespazio UK is excited about collaborating with successful bidders for additional contracts related to the EO DataHub programme.
Dr. Geoff Busswell from Telespazio UK expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting how the EO DataHub is a significant step forward for the UK in developing a national capability. He emphasized the potential impact on business and research stakeholders, showcasing Telespazio UK's expertise in data management and big data platforms.
Professor John Remedios, Executive Director of the National Centre for Earth Observation, welcomed Telespazio UK as an expert partner, recognizing their connectivity to the Earth Observation sectors in the UK and internationally. The project is seen as a crucial investment in data infrastructure for markets and commercial activities.
Philip Kershaw, Head of the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis, sees the contract as a major milestone in the EO DataHub project, which has received funding through NERC as part of DSIT’s EO Investment Package. The collaboration with industry partners is expected to contribute to the development of the Hub Platform, an essential component of the overall system.
