Satellite Applications Catapult
Satellite Applications Catapult’s activities within the three key themes of the Network:
Net Zero
- Sustainable finance and asset level data: Mainstreaming sustainable/spatial finance into decision making
- Net Zero space coalition: Creating guidelines to accelerate the transition to Net Zero through space technology
- Natural capital: Bringing together Earth Observation (EO) and AI capabilities for assessment of carbon sequestration at scale
- Agri living lab: To develop, demonstrate and test agri-tech solutions, particularly using connectivity, EO and position, navigation and timing PNT)
- Zero deforestation commodity supply chains: Use digital technology solutions to create a resilient food supply chain
Healthcare and Wellbeing
- Healthy living lab: To develop solutions to address social wellbeing challenges of the health system in the UK, including hybrid satellite and terrestrial backhaul connectivity
- AI institute for planet earth: For planetary scale applications of AI and geospatial data science to one health challenges
- Microgravity applications: Understand the needs for testing processes and services in the microgravity environment
Resilience
- UK PNT: Delivery of PNT services from OneWeb constellation
- Hybrid connectivity: Hybrid satellite and terrestrial backhaul connectivity solutions
- Rural connectivity: Address poor connectivity in remote areas with Open RAN
- 6G: Advance 6G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) systems and standards
- Synthetic aperture communications: Deliver high-capacity data services when devices do not have direct line-of-sight towards satellites
- Antenna development, integration and testing, particularly for connected vehicles
- Multi-static SAR constellations: For resilient infrastructure monitoring
- Digital Twin: Integration of EO into Digital Twin activities
- Future of flight: Ensure drone services within the UK transport ecosystem can be carried out safely, efficiently, and environmentally concious
- In-orbit Services and Manufacturing (IOSM)
- Space clusters: Delivering against the levelling-up agenda, building a resilient post-COVID space economy
- Managing environmental risks from mining: Space monitoring activities, enabling a reduction of risk of environmental disasters and loss of life
