On the sidelines of the 2024 NewSpace Africa Conference, Space in Africa had the opportunity to chat with Guillermo Roselló, CCO of SATLANTIS, to understand the company’s model for providing end-to-end solutions that generate unique and proprietary data for its customers.
Please summarise SATLANTIS’ core business operations and expertise, particularly concerning its services and offerings, focusing on its involvement in Africa.
SATLANTIS is a leading space technology company specialising in comprehensive solutions for Earth observation and universe exploration.
At its core lies the Integrated Standard Imager for Microsatellites (iSIM), which boasts high and very high-resolution optical payloads tailored for small satellites.
Our Earth observation EO solutions provide extensive and simultaneous coverage across multiple spectral ranges, including the panchromatic band PAN, red, green & blue bands RGB, the near-infrared band NIR, the short-wave infrared band SWIR, and thermal Infrared band TIR capabilities.
Additionally, we offer video and polarimetry functionalities, ensuring heightened situational awareness for our clientele across diverse areas and facilitating knowledge transfer across various sectors.
Using our technology, SATLANTIS has successfully executed six missions in space thus far, with two additional EO missions slated for launch before Q2 2025.
Our portfolio boasts innovative features such as simultaneous VNIR and SWIR spectral capture, alongside the ability to continuously capture imagery of non-linear tracks.
This capability is invaluable for monitoring borders, coastlines, pipelines, and ground structures while enhancing swath coverage or back-scanning capability to extend observation times over areas of interest.
Encompassing the entire value chain, we offer complete satellite solutions to tackle challenges across various sectors pertinent to Africa.
These include environmental concerns such as methane emissions detection, agricultural issues like food security, water stress, crop health monitoring, and security needs, including maritime and border surveillance.
Additionally, our offerings extend to disaster management, covering events like fires and floods and critical infrastructure monitoring.
Our solutions comprise state-of-the-art hardware, software, and services, fully customisable to meet the unique requirements of our users.
With a dedicated team of 120 engineers, SATLANTIS is experiencing robust growth and boasts a remarkable 100% success rate across all missions undertaken thus far.
What specific opportunities do you see for SATLANTIS in Africa’s growing space engineering ecosystem?
Africa holds significant interest for SATLANTIS, especially considering the region’s heightened activity in the Earth Observation sector in recent years.
There’s a growing awareness of the benefits offered by our proposed solutions. Clear opportunities exist with both public and private sector entities in the region.
In 2024, our customers and partners can begin leveraging our fast-track EO solutions.
These solutions are coupled with a unique training programme designed to enhance local capabilities and foster the growth of the related ecosystem.
We strongly believe that projects that foster collaboration between universities, government, and the private sector are key drivers for sustainable growth in the space industry.
