Data Platform

The Satellite Applications Catapult is delighted to be working with a global engineering company on behalf of the Brazilian Government. With support of the UK Embassy in Brazil, in phase 1 we have ensured this work encompasses a space element, to showcase the role and potential of satellite technology in this high profile environment and demonstrate the UK capability. The first phase (phase 1a) of this programme incorporated an Interferometric SAR (InSAR) analysis over a single site containing two Tailings Storage Facility structures of interest. In phase 2 we will build upon this early demonstration of value to support the longer term future expansion to many more TSFs in one State.

To support this work, the Satellite Applications Catapult are looking to procure a supplier to deploy a data distribution platform, to provide access to various datasets to distribute data to downstream decision support tools. The platform is anticipated to be based around the STAC and WFS Features API specifications.
