  • Accelerating New Space with Affordable Satellite Systems - A Satellogic Story
    Sep 11 2023

    Modern state-of-the-art satellite technology and sensing capabilities, enabling constant and consistent monitoring of anywhere in our Planet, are changing the way we study and improve life on Earth. But how affordable are these satellite systems?

    In this episode we explore Satellogic, a commercial leader in submeter EO satellite technology, and how they’re working to increase cost-savings for more affordable Space Systems.
    Opeyemi speaks with David Raskovan, Strategic Business Development Senior Director at Satellogic, as he takes us on the journey of how Satellogic has evolved through years of iteration, achieving significant internal cost savings that make it possible to offer fully functioning space systems for a fraction of traditional costs–becoming a leader and disruptor in satellite systems, imagery, and data delivery

    Dec 7 2022

    Geospatial innovation in Africa is growing and Locana is learning a lot from this through their work in Africa. We sit down with Todd Slind, Locana’s Vice President of Emerging Markets, who also leads the Open Data & Development (OD&D) unit, to discuss some of their numerous projects within the African space, and how they help foster collaborative development (cross-fertilization) between Africa and the rest of the world.

    Tune in to know about the work they have done and some of its impact on socio-economic development across Africa.

    In this episode Todd discusses;

    • Some past and current projects he is excited about within Africa,
    • Innovative usage of OpenStreetMap data in disaster relief.
    • Their approach to new spatial data types and making it more accessible to ordinary users, such as organizations in need of such data.
    • Opinion on open-source vs proprietary data
