OroraTech signs a million-dollar contract with the European Union

OroraTech has signed a multi-million contract with the European Space Agency to provide data to the European Union as part of the Copernicus Contributing Mission (CCM).

Munich, Germany - OroraTech, the world leader in thermal-based space intelligence, has signed a multi-million contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to provide data. Through its recently launched network of thermal sensor-based satellites, OroraTech will provide critical data for critical areas such as emergency services, climate analysis, ocean and land management.

Being selected as one of the exclusive nine companies for the CCM mission is a remarkable accomplishment for OroraTech. It underscores how valuable OroraTech's thermal data is

One week ago, OroraTech successfully deployed the next thermal sensor of a commercial satellite network in orbit. This marked the launch of their first global thermal intelligence service. Customers can now receive fire detection of brush fires within minutes, as well as access accurate fire edge information on mobile devices and desktops. Additionally, OroraTech offers task services that cover time periods in the afternoon, allowing customers to monitor crisis areas on demand.

The contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the provision of data to the European Union solidify OroraTech's position as a leader in thermal-based space intelligence. Founders and start-ups now have the opportunity to benefit from OroraTech's advanced technologies and services to advance their own projects.

This is a testimonial of the agility and continuous evolution of Copernicus, the importance of onboarding commercial missions, and a vote of confidence for European Earth Observation New Space.

Back in 2021, we reported on the first small satellites from OroraTech, as well as the successful completion of the first mission. The company's financial performance is particularly exciting to see. In 2021, there was 5.8 million euros in a Series A for the startup, while by the end of 2022, they were already able to collect 15 million.
