Geosystems Hellas is proud to participate in AXIS 3 of the “National Microsatellite Program”, as the prime contractor for the implementation of the earth monitoring service, for the conversion of satellite data into reliable information, which will offer added value to environmental monitoring and security.
AXIS 3 concerns a comprehensive geospatial services development initiative, designed to meet the national needs of the Greek public sector. More specifically, it includes the development of a Government Hub (Space Hub) for the processing and distribution of satellite data, as well as a series of specialized services and products in five different sectors: agriculture, forests, water, land and security.
The Greek microsatellites are part of the national program financed by the Recovery Fund (Greece 2.0) with the aim of acquiring 13 satellites and creating an autonomous Greek “constellation” in Space. This is an important technological step, as for the first time Greece is acquiring its own satellites that will be manufactured in our country and will serve national needs.
It is worth noting that the implementation of AXIS 3 of the “National Microsatellite Program” is carried out by Greek companies and organizations, thus supporting national technology and strengthening the autonomous management of critical information. Geosystems Hellas is the prime contractor, with FORTH and NAA as co-prime contractors, and the subcontractors Consortis Geospatial, University of Patras, NTUA, WINGS ICT and MPLegal, for the implementation of the land monitoring service, with an emphasis on land use and cover mapping, deformation monitoring and an urban analysis service that includes urban heat islands, public health and air quality. The company performs most of the AXIS 3 applications, with its international recognition by ESA (European Space Agency).
