Axelspace Corporation announces a new partnership with Maldives Space Research Organisation (MSRO) to provide satellite imagery of the entire Maldives, encompassing 1,192 islands spread across 871 kilometers.
This strategic alliance will revolutionize how the Maldives monitors and manages its vast geographical area, fostering enhanced decision-making processes for environmental, developmental, and security purposes.
The Maldives, renowned for its stunning archipelago, faces unique challenges in environmental monitoring, maritime security, early warning, and sustainable development. Through this partnership, MSRO will harness the power of Axelspace’s satellite technology to gain unprecedented insights into the dynamic islands of the Maldives.
The imagery provided by the GRUS satellites, equipped with red-edge spectral bands, will enable detailed observation and analysis of vegetation health. This will enable MSRO to support the current government in pursuing enhanced food security through better monitoring of farmland, crop health, and biodiversity.
Madin Maseeh, President of MSRO, commented,
“Partnering with Axelspace represents a significant milestone for the Maldives Space Research Organisation. The ability to access satellite imagery over our entire territory, including our oceans, will be instrumental in better understanding the forces that dictate the health and stability of our islands and nation. This collaboration underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for the benefit of our nation.”
Yuya Nakamura, President and CEO of Axelspace, commented,
”The Maldives is one of the first island nations to be affected by global climate change, and Axelspace is proud to be working with MSRO to develop the solutions such countries definitely need. We will continue to contribute to solving various problems facing humanity through the utilization of satellite imagery data.”
