On 29 April 2020 the Italian SAR satellite constellation COSMO-SkyMed, promoted and funded by Italian Space Agency (ASI), acquired the first picture from space of the new bridge of Genoa (IT) after the collapse of Morandi Bridge the 14th of August 2018. Space assets and the continuous improvments of remote sensing techniques and data processing, could be of crucial support for infrastructures monitoring and characterization.

Thales Alenia Space Italia chooses GEO-K to realize new platforms for COSMO-SkyMed SAR data analysis.

The agreement signed on 22 March 2016 requires the creation of a first suite for automatic analysis application for oil spills, ship survey, coastline extraction and land cover classification. All of this will be detected by neural network technology developed by GEO-K over the past years.

Both GEO-K and TAS-I wish the just-signed agreement may be renewed in view of new potential available with COSMO Second Generation Data.

GEO-K and SERCO prized at the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) Masters competition (GMES MASTERS 2012). GEO-K and SERCO won the “Ideas Challenge” competition proposing  “MOSP-RIOS – OFF-SHORE OIL SPILL & FLARING MONITORING”, a service for the monitoring of gas flaring and of oil spilling from off-shore platforms using GMES products.

The competition, in its second year, received more than 100 innovative business proposals from 20 European countries. The 2012 winners were announced at the event, in Munich, organized by Anwendungszentrum Oberpfaffenhofen (AZO) GmbH, on 25 October 2012.
