Axelspace Corporation is pleased to announce the establishment of a framework of strategic partnership with SkyFi. SkyFi will distribute Axelspace’s Earth observation data in AxelGlobe, the Earth observation platform covering the world that Axelspace has been constructing since 2015.
Through this partnership, Axelspace and SkyFi plan to promote the worldwide utilization of AxelGlobe data and develop new solutions together.
About AxelGlobe
Currently, AxelGlobe consists of 5 satellites named “GRUS” and can observe anywhere in the world every couple of days, capturing images with a ground resolution of 2.5 m. The satellite images taken by AxelGlobe are expected to be used for various applications, such as crop growth management and prediction of the best time to harvest (so-called “precision agriculture”), urban planning, understanding of economic trends, disaster monitoring. Emerging needs include remote monitoring of supply chains under the pandemic situation and environmental monitoring in order to contribute to SDGs and respond to ESG requirements.
AxelGlobe has already established partnerships with more than 60 companies worldwide and will continue to expand its partnership network to realize its vision of “Space Within Your Reach”.
