Who we are

We provide onestop solutions using geospatial data from its own SAR satellites in line with its mission to create a progressive world based on real data. We are building a constellation of our own small SAR satellites to provide data and analytic information to governments and commercial entities.

We are the only company in the world with the capabilities to both develop and operate its own satellites and provide analytics solutions. We offer subscriptionbased solutions and new solution development with collaborative prototyping:

• Infrastructure development
• Energy and natural resources development
• Disaster risk management

We have already successfully launched two satellites and are aiming to launch six satellites by 2023 and a constellation of 30 satellites around 2026. According to our calculations if we can operate 30 small SAR satellites we will be able to acquire and analyze local ground data within two hours of a disaster anywhere in the world and provide information that will contribute to decisionmaking in disaster response. Even if an earthquake flood or other disaster occurs during the nighttime and it is difficult for people to enter the area we will be able to quickly observe and confirm the situation.

Our CREDO:

• Synergy of Spirit: We embark on this journey together bringing with us our combined experiences and life. As a team we recognize that the teams goals are also personal goals and personal goals are the teams goals. We each share a part of the responsibility to succeed.
• Synthesis of Knowledge: We try to create new value under conditions that have huge uncertainty and volatility. The only way for us to succeed is to progress through trial and error that we learn from and make changes based on our new knowledge.
• Synched with the Future: We have an obligation to create a sustainable future for the next generations. To do so we must tackle tough challenges as pioneers leaving our comfort zones that prevent our growth.

Roles and Responsibility

We build a constellation of SAR satellites that will produce hundreds of images of the Earth everyday. We are looking for a software engineer experienced in image processing and computer vision to develop and optimize our image processing pipeline and help us with the delivery of our SAR images.

Responsibility
