Germany Satellite-based Earth Observation Industry Overview
The Germany Satellite-based Earth Observation market is expected to be Semi consloidated in nature. The market serves various industries and sectors, each with unique requirements and applications. Market fragmentation arises from addressing diverse needs across sectors such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, urban planning, disaster management, and more. Different players may specialize in specific application areas, leading to a fragmented market landscape. Some prominent players operating in the market include Airbus SE, OHB SE, GeoVille Information Systems GmbH, Planet Labs PBC, and German Aerospace Center e. V. (DLR).
In July 2022, a new agreement between Planet Labs Germany GmbH and the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) intended for Planet Labs to deliver the BKG with daily, high-resolution satellite data for crisis response, environmental and wildlife conservation, as well as forest and agricultural monitoring. The BKG will be able to enhance public and civic safety across the Federal Republic of Germany with access to satellite data. The partnership was introduced in November 2021, and after a successful trial phase, it is now being expanded.
In June 2022, the "SARah-1" Earth observation satellite, which was developed by Airbus and is presently being set up for launch in June 2022 and operation by Airbus in space, moved from Friedrichshafen, Germany, to Vandenberg, California, USA, under subcontract to OHB System AG.
