Shortly after the beginning of the war, EOS Data Analytics shared on their LinkedIn channel that they received numerous offers of support from the satellite technology community. EOS Data Analytics continues to urge businesses that can provide real-time SAR data and other satellite imagery capabilities to reach out to them.
Satellite Imagery Companies in Support of Ukraine
Recently, EOSDA signed a cooperation agreement with GEOSAT. EOSDA is a European EO satellite operator developing and delivering EO products in Ukraine and other regions of the World. The strategic partnership between EOSDA and GEOSAT 2 will contribute to the enhancement of Ukraine’s space intelligence capabilities and the improvement of quality space data collection.
