Kenya has experienced a dramatic shift from a prolonged, severe drought, to catastrophic flooding. In 2024, intense rainfall resulted in flooding across the country, claiming the lives of at least 228 people and displacing over 212,000 others in May. While the country typically anticipates heavy rainfall during the long rainy season from March to May, the scale of these events was unprecedented.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/12/uzma-and-satellogic-to-advance-geospatial-capabilities-in-southeast-asia/ Fri, 08 Dec 2023 07:00:27 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=52710 Uzma, a energy and technology company and Satellogic Inc, a Earth Observation (EO) data collector, announced on the 7th of December a new collaboration. The companies are aiming to evolve the landscape of satellite imagery capabilities and geospatial services in Southeast Asia. As part of the agreement Satellogic will design and manufacture a EO satellite. It is planned to be launched in the second half of 2024 as ‘UzmaSAT-1’ aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/07/wa-government-invests-in-earth-observation/ Thu, 27 Jul 2023 06:00:33 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=50228 https://spacewatch.global/2023/03/airbus-wins-angola-contract-for-earth-observation-satellite/ Mon, 06 Mar 2023 07:00:01 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=47012 https://spacewatch.global/2022/12/euroconsult-predicts-global-commercial-eo-data-and-services-to-reach-us-7-9-billion-by-2031/ Mon, 19 Dec 2022 07:00:43 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=45530 Consulting firm Euroconsult’s latest ‘Earth Observation Data & Services Market’ report on the EO satellite-based downstream and upstream data and service markets predicts a steady growth in the next decade.
