Synspective and SkyFi Form Strategic Partnership

Synspective Inc. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Motoyuki Arai), which develops and operates small SAR satellites, sells SAR data, and provides solutions, is pleased to announce that it has formed a strategic partnership with SkyFi, which provides an Earth observation intelligence platform powered by AI technology.

Through this alliance, both companies aim to make high-resolution SAR data more accessible, democratizing data so that a wide range of businesses, researchers, and developers can utilize Earth observation data to solve critical issues.

Background and Purpose of the Partnership SAR satellites can penetrate clouds and observe even at night. Therefore, they enable 24-hour monitoring for critical global industries, regardless of weather conditions or time of day.

This partnership focuses on a long-term initiative to simplify the interface between SAR technology and users. By integrating Synspective's advanced data collection capabilities with SkyFi's ecosystem, we will create an environment where users can seamlessly utilize SAR data.

Key Benefits of this Partnership

Streamlined Data Procurement: We are advancing an integrated process that allows users to request Synspective's satellite observations (tasking) through SkyFi's intuitive interface. This will shorten the lead time from order placement to the acquisition of observation data.

Provision of Diverse Observation Modes: Users can select the optimal observation mode according to their purpose. In the future, we will offer optimal data provision tailored to diverse needs, such as "Staring Spotlight" and "Sliding Spotlight" for detailed capture of specific targets with high resolution, and "Stripmap" for efficient coverage of wide areas. *For details on each observation mode, please refer here.

Expanded Academic Access: We will provide affordable academic licenses for researchers and students. This will support scientific advancements by next-generation innovators and broaden the scope of SAR data utilization.
