ORCA: The missing layer
ORCA helps us better understand our planet by looking at it from above. By mounting sensors on airliner’s aircraft, we can provide various Earth observation and Telecommunication services.
Frequent, high quality, low cost data
Fuelling applications for a better world
Our data quality and frequency are unrivalled
Frequency
The vast number commercial flights allow for multiple daily revisit times
Spatial Resolution
Meter class resolution in various spectral bands
Coverage
Even the fleet of a single airliner has significant coverage potential
Serviceability
ORCA payloads are accessible for maintenance, upgrades, and equipment interchangeability
Low Cost
No launch costs, and no platform/constellation operations necessary
We work with experts in space and aeronautics.
