How we work and develop new technologies
Our team values collaboration, agility, and out-of-the-box thinking (literally!). We work in a fast-paced environment to solve complex engineering challenges, while also gathering customer input to design our products and services based on their needs. We conduct business with integrity and expect the same from our partners, customers, and collaborators.

In early 2023, Satlantis acquired a majority stake in SuperSharp to leverage the synergies between Optical and Thermal InfraRed (TIR) imaging satellites. The vision of Satlantis is to become a leader in Earth Observation satellites. Its core capabilities include Optics, Electronics, Mechanics, Software & FPGA, Image Processing and Space Systems. Today, the group has >200 employees across Spain, the UK, the US and France.
Satlantis has successfully operated 10+ payloads in Space and launched 4+ missions for various international customers.
“Existing methods of measuring canopy temperature are either too low resolution (Landsat satellites) or too expensive (UAVs or handheld cameras)to be used at scale in agriculture. Supersharp’s proposed solution of measuring canopy temperature would have numerous applications in precision agriculture including improving crop yield predictions, tailoring irrigation management and identifying disease. This information is also of interest to crop insurance providers estimating losses and to supply chains, traders and governments aiming to understand and improve crop productivity over large areas.”

“We are committed to achieving net-zero carbon operations by 2040. We aim to improve our understanding of our energy use and reduce carbon emissions further through the use of technologies that will help us achieve that. Using thermal infrared imaging, we improved the accuracy of assessments of the energy performance of buildings at our headquarters in Cambridge. We look forward to engaging with SuperSharp’s important and impactful work and exploring potential applications to BAS Cambridge and to our research stations in Antarctica.”
