ISIS – Innovative Solutions In Space B.V. which is based in The Netherlands, has announced that it has been selected by the Dutch space-based “Internet of Things” service provider HiberGlobal (formerly known as Magnitude Space) to provide two 6U cubesats to enable service to start in first half of 2018.
Meantime the Swedish/Danish firm GomSpace has been selected for the delivery of the electronic subsystem for the LUME-1 spacecraft, part of European Commission’s FIRE-RS project, led by the University of Vigo in Spain.
The FIRE-RS project aims to implement an effective tool for the early detection and characterisation of natural disasters, initially focused on wild fires within the Sudoe territory (France, Spain, and Portugal regions). It will provide a complete fire assessment to the involved firefighting brigades, before and during firefighting operations, through the combination of Nanosatellite and autonomous UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) data.
