PARIS-- October 01, 2021 -- Today marks the signature of the Space Data Marketplace project whose mission is to facilitate access to space data and create value for the whole space industry in France, Europe and internationally, by offering inspiring use cases.

Supported by the French Recovery Plan and the French space government agency CNES, the development of Space Data Marketplace will be driven by a consortium led by Dawex and including Airbus Defence and Space, Dassault Systèmes, Thales Alenia Space, Geoflex, VisioTerra, namR, Altametris, Murmuration and Occitanie Data leveraging improved capabilities for accessing and distributing data and services on the platform.

Space Data Marketplace aims at contributing directly to ease access to space data and promote their wider use thanks to

the innovative data exchange technology that simplifies and streamlines the circulation of data and related services,
the development of innovative future proof applications in the field of satellite imagery analytics, simulation and 3D.
