EXPLOITING YOUR SATELLITE

We acknowledge that the key to a successful long-term national space programme is the uptake of the information coming from the space asset and the success of the mission. That’s why our role does not finish at the launch of the satellite and we provide extensive training in effective exploitation of the satellite technology.
SSTL, together with its Partners, transfers knowledge and expertise to our Customers in the exploitation of satellite data, in particular Earth observation, through enhancing understanding and facilitating development of satellite applications.
We offer short courses for specific stakeholders and bespoke extended capacity building programmes to support the creation of an independent national capability.
