The European Space Agency, under its ARTES 20 Integrated Applications Promotions Programme, is challenging innovators to propose new customer-facing applications that combine two or more space assets to provide commercially sustainable services supported by Open Data and Crowdsourcing.

The challenge

These space assets can be Earth Observation, Satellite Navigation, Satellite Communications, and Human Space flight technologies. This challenge will award several contracts in the form of feasibility studies, allowing innovators to collaborate with user communities and stakeholders in the definition of sustainable services, while developing a comprehensive business case. Any contracts awarded shall be fully funded and last up to 6 months. This challenge is open to any company that complies with the rules of the ESA ARTES 20 Programme [1]. SME’s, start-ups and companies that have never worked with ESA before are especially invited to respond.

The challenge is foreseen to be launched at the end of August 2014 and it will remain open for about 4 months in order to allow for innovators to connect to users and stakeholders, as well as attract newcomers to space industry.

Facilitate interactions

This challenge also welcomes the support of Open Data providers, user communities and organisations aimed at promoting Open Data and Crowdsourcing. These entities may contribute to this challenge by: promoting their open datasets and platforms; fostering Open Data format standards, API’s and data exchange protocols; providing access to user communities, in order collaborate in the user requirements definition and connect innovators to early adopters; plus providing visibility of the challenge to its participants.

What happens at the end of the contract? If challenge winners define a compelling business case, ESA can provide further support specifically tailored to each case. Options could include an ESA co-funded demonstration project; access to one of the ESA Business Incubator Centres (BIC) across Europe; business development support by connecting with private investment funding or further partnership opportunities.

For Innovators

Do you have a new idea for a commercial service requiring Open Data where combination with space assets could provide unique added value? Can you create new services that tap into the power of the crowd?

Participate in this challenge and work with ESA to bring your ideas to the market.

For Open Data Providers

Are you already providing Open Data and do you want to promote it through this challenge?

ESA can provide visibility through this challenge but also through our network of ARTES Applications Ambassador Platforms across Europe.

Very soon, we are going to launch a new resources section in our Community Portal. Please contact your local Ambassador Platform in order to promote your resources in our portal.

For User Communities

Are you already using space-related Open Data but the existing services do not fit your requirements?

This challenge is designed to bring innovators and user communities together, as well as promote Open Data formats, data exchange protocols, API’s and open source platforms for Open Data.

Vision

We expect this challenge to be able to bring together the dynamic Open Data community with the Space industry and define new services and opportunities.

Another expected outcome is to increase the awareness of Open Data and Crowdsourcing, as well as the role of space assets as a source of data and an enabling technology. This awareness should also cover the untapped economic potential and the ability to generate new services for Open Data and Crowdsourcing, and attract more innovators to exploit this potential.

Finally, this challenge and the follow-up activities are expected to contribute to spread the Open Data culture, and encourage public and private stakeholders and organisations to implement Open Data policies.

Tender information

As urban air quality and airborne pollution grabbed the headlines with the return of ‘smong’ to large swathes of England, James Eddy reports on how scientists at the University of Leicester are developing a ground-breaking air quality mapping service

April 2014 saw the return of ‘smog’ to the skies over large swathes of south and south east England. Emissions from domestic vehicles, factories and homes coincided with gentle easterly winds that brought in additional pollution from Europe and combined with Saharan dust, whipped up by a storm thatproduced gale force winds in north Africa, to create the ‘perfect storm’.

This combination of pollution and weather events presented as milky white air that obliterated the sun and shrouded much of England for several days. Residents in affected areas were advised to stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise while sufferers of respiratory and heart problems were warned of potential flare ups of existing conditions.

Nothing New

Air quality concerns are not new. The infamous ‘pea soupers’ in London are even mentioned by Dickens and many people in the UK are aware of the tragic consequences of the 1952 London fog which led to thousands of deaths and the eventual implementation of the Clean Air Acts of 1956 and 1968. In 1999 air pollution resulted in hospital visits for more than one million people in Mexico City and, despite planting tens of thousands of trees and introducing alternative fuels for government vehicles, remains one of the most daunting environmental issues for the city.

Around the world China continues to make headlines amid international concerns that economic growth is being prioritised over health. Recent reports have suggested that Beijing will introduce emergency measure similar to those implemented for the 2008 Summer Olympics ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Meeting later this year.

Threat to health

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is part of a group of highly reactive gasses known as nitrogen oxides. NO2 forms quickly when fossil fuels are burned for example petrol or diesel in a car or natural gas in a domestic boiler or power station and there is clear evidence that high levels of NO2 are linked to adverse effects on health. These include increased risk of respiratory illnesses, such as bronchitis, and even heart attacks, with World Health Organisation statistics show 1.3 million deaths worldwide resulting from outdoor air pollution.

Threat to wildlife

The nitrogen within the recent smog outbreaks does not just impact on human health. It has been reported that nitrogen deposited from the air to the ground and stored within the soil has reached critical levels.

This ‘hidden killer’ has the potential to wipe out entire species and destroy ecosystems. Nitrogen rich soil reduces biodiversity by supporting species which thrive on nitrates at the expense of those that don’t. High levels of nitrogen can also cause problems by leaching into groundwater. This can prove toxic to cattle and sheep and cause problems for small infants by impairing the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity. Once in the ground, nitrogen can remain for hundreds if not thousands of years.

Keeping tracks

Currently in the UK air quality is monitored via a national network of over 130 urban, suburban, roadside, industrial and rural monitoring sites, known as the Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN). AURN continuously captures ambient concentrations of selected pollutants throughout the UK although some data is also collected manually.

DEFRA has a duty to report to the EU on air quality every 5 years and local authorities currently review and assess current and future air quality in their localities against health-based objectives. Where it is predicted that these objectives will not be met, and public exposure exists, the local authority must declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). Nationally, we are not achieving all of our legally binding targets for nitrogen dioxide and now we face legal action by the European Commission for failing to reduce excessive levels with fines of up to £300m a year. The main challenge for the UK is in meeting nitrogen dioxide limits alongside roads in cities and towns.

Pollutants move with the air and as such areas that generate air pollution, such as roads, may create impacts elsewhere. As a static network the AURN may not provide the full picture as to where the pollutants actually affect; making it hard for Local Authorities and government to fully understand how to address it.

Taking to the skies

Scientists at the University of Leicester are at the forefront of research into monitoring of air quality. Using ground breaking technology a partnership between the University and aerial mapping company Bluesky has already mapped levels of nitrogen dioxide across the East Midlands city of Leicester.

The Airborne Air Quality Mapper (AQM) utilises the University of Leicester’s world leading Compact Air Quality Spectrometer, mounted on a dedicated aerial survey aircraft. The device monitors visible light and measures how much light is lost at specific wavelengths absorbed by NO2. The technology has previously been used as part the CityScan project with devices mounted on tall buildings in Leicester, Bologna and London during the Olympics to build 3D maps of pollution across the cities.

The air quality mapper (AQM) can be used to measure nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels through application of differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS), a passive remote sensing technique that uses the spectral signature of sunlight reflected off of the Earth’s surface to determine how much NO2 is in the sunlight’s path through the atmosphere. From these measurements vertical column densities of NO2 can be determined, and surface levels of the pollutant can be estimated at resolutions of approximately 20m by 20m. This means that air pollution across an entire city can be mapped during a single flight.

Proven technology

While the data sensor may be new the thinking behind aerial collection is anything but. By working with an industrial partner the University of Leicester can benefit from the experience and expertise of one of the UK’s leading aerial survey companies. This eases potential problems obtaining flying permission over populated cities and ensures all data is collected to the highest possible standards.

Once processed, the colour coded air pollution maps created from the AQM data can be overlaid on digital maps or online mapping systems such as Google Earth. By combining with other data potential sources of pollution can be identified as can patterns of distribution. This intelligence can then be used to inform policy, planning and pollution control measures, for example.

Early trials of the AQM have already revealed some interesting phenomena and the University of Leicester is expected to publish full results in an academic paper due out soon. However, this is not the end of research into monitoring of potential pollutants in cities and towns. The University of Leicester is also partnering Bluesky with trials of the world’s first integrated night mapping system. Combining a specially adapted camera with Bluesky’s state of the art LiDAR and thermal imaging sensors it is hoped the trials will produce essential data to help combat light pollution, energy wastage and help manage urban habitats. The resulting map accurate images will be a useful tool for managing street lighting operations and maintenance and as a resource to tackle energy inefficiency.

Amazingly, EARSC has just celebrated its 25 years anniversary. The founding meeting for the Association took place on 1st June 1989 with the presence of a number of board members who still active in the Association today. I can mention particularly Marcello Marenesi and Emile Maes but there are others who we still see and meet.

Bruce Smith was the first chairman, Bill Jackson (who I worked for at the time) was the first treasurer and Rupert Hayden was the first vice-chair. As a summer job, maybe I’ll write a short piece on EARSC on Wikipedia and anyone who wishes to contribute will be welcome.

But back to the celebration! We had a great party on the 25th June – the evening of our 2014 annual general meeting – at which some 80 guests had an excellent opportunity to mingle and exchange between member companies and Brussels-based policy makers. We also made two awards – a first for EARSC! We felt the occasion was too important to miss the opportunity to introduce a “company of the year” award. This is for the company recognised by both peers and international experts as having made the most significant contribution to the growth of the EO services sector in Europe. I am pleased to report that GeoVille GmbH was selected as the winner by both EARSC members and the international jury and Christian Hoffman (founder and CEO) proudly accepted the award.

A second award was made to Emile Maes (founder and CEO of Eurosense) for his lifetime contribution to the sector. Not only has Emile built one of the first and most successful companies in the EO sector in Europe but he has been a strong supporter of EARSC since that very first meeting 25 years ago.

EARSC has come a long way in that time – as has the world of remote sensing. In 1989 the world was changing dramatically; Time magazine even consider it as the year which changed the world – Tiananmen Square, fall of the Berlin wall, first elections in Poland and death of Ayatollah Khomeni to name just a few major events. The internet was still a research network, mobile phones were brick-sized and Europe had launched only 2 EO satellites (Spot 1&2). It was also a time when commercialisation of remote sensing was a priority even if this was to bring a crisis to the industry some years later. EARSC also went through its own crisis in the mid-90’s but recovered and now has 76 members from 23 countries. Interest is sustained and 2 decisions taken at the recent AGM should help bring more companies and other organisations into the network

Our focus on animating the network and helping companies find business together seems to be much appreciated and we now provide a single voice for the European EO services sector ranging from those selling satellite data, to those selling geospatial information where satellite data may represent a small proportion of its value. The increasing commercial interests of the sector are also being recognised by European institutions, EC and ESA, and we are being kept very busy in dealing with both the positive and negative aspects of this. As is typical of the sector, the government interest in EO surveillance means that we face increasing legislative actions and EARSC will be at the front of efforts to ensure that these are constructive for the industry.

Indeed, 2014 feels like a significant year for our sector. Whereas in 2013 some 23 EO satellites were launched globally, this number looks to explode in 2014. The strong, revised, commercial interest manifesting itself in private investments and new ventures (Skybox, Planetlabs, Orthimage, Urthercast, Satellogic etc) is to be welcomed. It demonstrates a confidence in the technology but more importantly in an emerging market for the services which EO can deliver. As I have mentioned before, I regret that most of these are outside of Europe but feel that the skills and competences amongst our members will be able to compete with the support of a favourable legislative environment.

We are working with both ESA and the European Commission to establish a constructive approach and I am optimistic that the next few months will see positive developments. A sign of this can be seen in our institutional interview this month with Eric Morel, Director in charge of Industrial Policy at ESA, who sets out a vision for achieving sustainable, commercial business in the downstream sector.

Another priority for us is working to ensure the Copernicus programme is oriented to allow industry to deliver key services to new customers. Standard procurement procedures used by the EC are not well-suited to complex services such as those required by Copernicus, and their use risks to particularly disfavour industry. We hope that this can be recognised and some of the lessons learned from the Galileo programme can be applied to Copernicus.

Finally, I just wish to mention that we are making good progress on our certification scheme with Planetek recently becoming the first company to successfully apply it to their certification process. We shall hold a second certification workshop in November (on 19th, in London) to look at the results and decide on the next steps.

1989 was a year that changed the world. The world of Earth Observation has changed enormously since then; what will the next 25 years bring?

EARSC is a non-profit-making organisation created in 1989 with the mission to foster the development of European Geo-Information Service Industry. Our main objective is to stimulate a sustainable market for geo-information services using EO data. Today, EARSC has more than 75 members in 23 countries, and is a recognized association both in Europe and worldwide.

EARSC represents the European providers of geo-information services creating a network between industry, decision-makers and users. We consider that the market is at a crucial stage of development as Earth observation becomes more frequently used by society and adds positive value to our daily lives.

Nevertheless, there are many issues, opportunities and threats facing industrial actors and, through a small secretariat, EARSC informs and involves its members though its website and newsletters, through the provision of web-tools, as well as organizing events.

Members tell us that they appreciate the opportunity to network with other similar companies/organizations and that this helps them develop new business opportunities as well as exchanging on best practices. They also like the regular flow of information as well as the knowledge that EARSC is able to influence EU and ESA policy when it is important for the sector.

For our members, the annual membership fee is a cost-effective way to stay informed and promote their company among other market sectors and communities.

The EARSC AGM has been agreed the following discount will apply for small, new companies (5 or less employees: formed in last 5 years)

  • First year €250 (33%)
  • Second year €500 (66%)
  • Third year €825 (100%)

and

Observer status has been extended to allow organisations close to the geo-information sector or non-European companies the possibility to engage with the European industry network through participation in EARSC ́s activities.

08 July 2014, Geneva, Switzerland –UNOSAT and The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) (www.iss-casis.org) have started a collaboration on technology applications that aims to develop and deploy a next-generation high resolution, multi-band hyperspectral imaging system onboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Because of its specific location in low orbit around the earth, the ISS provides a premier vantage point from which to observe our planet. For some applications the imagery coming from the station may turn out to be more impactful than many traditional earth observation satellites.

Once operational, the system should be able to support a variety of applications including water and forest-management, environmental management and territorial planning, emergency response, recovery and risk reduction. The particular path followed by the ISS will take the new sensor over areas hosting 90% of Earth’s population. The data stream will be made available to academic institutions, UN entities and national agencies, and other not for profit organizations. It is expected that in time new applications using this hyperspectral sensor will be developed by research partners.

As part of the agreement, UNITAR and CASIS will work together to develop outreach and educational projects, with a specific focus on activities implemented by the UNOSAT Programme to increase capacity in developing and vulnerable countries. UNOSAT will serve as the lead expert in capacity development, applications and training and will work as a bridge between implementing partners and beneficiaries. CASIS will manage the efforts to design, launch, and operate the hyperspectral sensor onboard the ISS, soliciting innovative proposals from both the academic/not-for-profit sectors as well as the commercial market.

CASIS President and Executive Director Gregory H. Johnson said in a press communiqué released in July;“This initiative will provide UN partners the unprecedented ability to leverage the vantage point of the ISS to improve humanitarian relief, and recovery capabilities in real time.” UNOSAT has already partnered with research actors to use the unique potential of the ISS for the greater good. The partnership with CASIS has particular meaning for UNOSAT because it complements the satellite data the Programme uses routinely to carry out its analysis work.

Einar Bjorgo, who manages UNOSAT, confirms: “The ISS provides a unique opportunity for us to inspire new solutions and applications, and to share the fruits of this research with Member States and UN agencies and programmes that work to protect those in greater need and those exposed to disaster risk”.

UNOSAT is a technology-intensive programme delivering imagery analysis and satellite solutions to relief and development organizations within and outside the UN system to help make a difference in critical areas such as humanitarian relief, human security, strategic territorial and development planning. UNOSAT develops applied research solutions keeping in sight the needs of the beneficiaries at the end of the process.

The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) was selected by NASA in July 2011 to maximize use of the International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory through 2020. CASIS is dedicated to supporting and accelerating innovations and new discoveries that will enhance the health and wellbeing of people and our planet. For more information, visit www.iss-casis.org.

In partnership with The Nature Conservancy, DigitalGlobe activated its Tomnod crowdsourcing platform to help preserve Hawaii’s remaining native forests, the areas that remain mostly untouched by civilization. Invasive weeds, such as the Australian Tree Fern and African Tulip Tree, are aggressively spreading throughout Hawaii’s high-elevation rainforests.

In fact, invasive species have contributed to the destruction of more than 50 percent of Hawaii’s native forests, according to The Nature Conservancy. DigitalGlobe has a unique ability to monitor change around the world, and this campaign will allow us to do just that.

Starting with the island of Kauai, we want to pinpoint the location of some of the worst invasive weeds, but we need your help! If you would like to volunteer your time to support this mission, please visit DigitalGlobe’s Tomnod platform to join other eco-volunteers in combing through aerial images of Kauai to tag two different species of invasive weeds, specifically: Australian Tree Fern, Partial Australian Tree Fern and African Tulip Tree.

This project uses Conservancy-provided high resolution aerial photography of Kauai’s remote rainforests. By pinpointing the location of each weed, the Conservancy will be able to focus its efforts on each one, and identify the leading edge of the weeds’ spread. Targeting weeds in the regions of the forest where they are most prevalent will slow further spread and push back that leading edge, protecting the 27 percent of native forest that remains on Kauai. Hawaii as a state stretches over more than 16,000 square kilometers, and the island of Kauai is more than 1,400 square kilometers, so the crowd can play a significant role in targeting these weeds before they spread any further. Although this project focuses on just 3,000 acres, if it is successful, the Conservancy has thousands more acres — and images — to analyze.
