Copernic Space becomes founding member of space industry alliance

Copernic Space is proud to announce that we have become one of the founding members of the Edge Computing in Space Alliance. This alliance was created to help democratize access to space data and define common technical specifications among industry players.

The Edge Computing in Space Alliance

The alliance is led by Exodus Orbitals and includes founding members: Copernic Space, Exo-Space, Modularity Space, Orbital Transports, Spiral Blue, LEOcloud, SkyWatch, OrbitsEdge, Deploy Solutions, IBEOS, Ramon.Space, KP Labs, and SpaceLink.

"Edge Computing in Space" is a new, emerging area in the space industry that can open an entirely new domain for software applications, similar in scale to web and mobile apps. While a number of companies are already working on different products and services in this niche, they all have to overcome perception and marketing challenges.

Alliance Goals and Vision

The alliance goals will include the development of common technical standards and protocols, cooperation on technology development projects, and promotion of participants' products and services as well as better information sharing between its members, borrowing an approach commonly used in the IT industry.

Among our goals is to truly democratize access to the space market, and since we have already been working with Exodus Orbitals on proof of concepts to do so with Satellite imagery, we want to continue to take leadership roles in the market together to push that forward. Extending that collaboration across a growing group with a particular focus can not only benefit the entities within, but the world as a whole.

Democratizing Space Data Access

By applying blockchain technology to democratize access to space data along with the founding members, Copernic Space is taking a leadership role in this emerging market. We will be leveraging our Web3 expertise to ensure that space data becomes more accessible to everyone, not just a select few.
