The LEO satellite constellation of EOSDA (Earth Observing System Data Analytics) will be the star achievement of the company, says the company's founder Max Polyakov. He expresses great confidence in the credibility and features of the EOS SAT constellation that is set to be launched in 2024. In a recent interview given to Via Satellite, the talented entrepreneur shared details about the uniqueness of the LEO agricultural constellation.
Improved Band Quantity Parameters in the EOS SAT Constellation
The unique thing about the EOS SAT constellation is that it has been optimized to provide agricultural modeling solutions. On that note, what makes it stand out are the unique parameters and band quantities. These are crucial parts of the monitoring satellites.
Speaking of the satellite bands, the EOS SAT uses specific bands to obtain data on biophysical parameters like the LAI or Leaf Area Index. Such bands are currently only provided by the gold standard satellites like Modis, Landsat, Sentinel, etc. No matter how advanced these satellites are at the job, they have a significant disadvantage too. It involves a low revisit rate that goes on till or beyond eight days. Another disadvantage is represented by the poorly optimized cameras with only four channels used in the optical satellites, which don't do the proper imaging for agro-modeling solutions.
Here, EOS SAT marks a difference. Its cameras are designed for obtaining pertinent imaging data. The first satellite of the EOS SAT constellation is going to have an 11 bands matrix. These will be spectral bands balanced with Sentinel-2 to achieve sensor synchronization. The bands will also be designed with unique algorithms and mathematical modeling for facilitating the calculation of 3 SWIR virtual channels. Such precision-driven technical modeling of the satellites is undoubtedly going to succeed, said Max Polyakov.
Wider Target Base
Another critical advantage for EOSDA is the vast reach of the company. The solutions offered are for a great variety of clients, ranging from smallholders to huge agricultural companies and even governments and insurance companies. EOSDA targets the widest variety of end customers and the most significant number of farming issues. All of this becomes possible due to the vertically integrated system of the company.
Customized Solutions for Clients
EOSDA also takes pride in its expertise and experience in preparing tailor-made solutions for its clients out of satellite data. Max Polyakov talked about the effectiveness of their solutions, which is essentially a result of immense expertise gained by the company in the domain of satellite imaging. The company ensures following all the steps rightly, considering all the merits and demerits of the existing models, and finally crafting and delivering the most suitable solutions for the end client.
With such a unique approach, EOSDA looks all prepared for tasting success in its endeavors. This will start with the company successfully placing the EOS SAT constellation in Low Earth orbit in 2024. It will surely be a remarkable thing for the world to witness.
