The company represents an effective New Space example of innovation capability in terms of scientific research and technological development: in particular the creation of ISIM-170, a miniaturized camera for small satellites capable of collecting images of the Earth from Space below one meter in size measuring environmental parameters. The reason behind the innovation is linked to “millions of plastics in the sea that end up in our stomachs, GHG emissions to the atmosphere or lack of control of burning forests, are critical examples of society urgent needs and must be complemented with satellite imagery”, as stated by SATLANTIS Director of Strategy, Ms Eider Ocerin Martínez, during the presentation of the company’s practical case.
