LEONSEGS: The Blueprint for Tomorrow’s Earth Observation

The global space industry is booming with data, but accessing and combining it is still too complicated. LEONSEGS is the European proof-of-concept project defining the next generation of space services to fix that.

We’re not just building a system; we’re creating the working model (the blueprint) for a unified, automated European Ground Segment.

The Challenge: Fragmentation
The Earth Observation (EO) industry is fragmented. Different satellite operators use different systems and archives, forcing users to stitch together a fragmented picture. This creates technical barriers, slows down innovation, and limits the value of the data.

The LEONSEGS Solution: A Unified, Federated Model
LEONSEGS is defining a federated environment that acts as the single connector for this complex market. Our central, automated platform manages the chaos so future users won’t have to.

For Data Providers  (New Space Operators)

Test GSaaS:
Explore the blueprint for externalizing your ground segment operations with a shared, automated infrastructure.
Harmonised Integration:
Validate the use of a standard interface to integrate your data (including thermal) and reach a broader market efficiently.
Validate Tasking:
Prove the automated management of future satellite acquisitions, ensuring your assets are used efficiently.

LEONSEGS is our working model for a unified, automated European Ground Segment—defining the future where EO data is instantly accessible and ready to use.

For End-Users  (Businesses & Developers)

Test Unified Access:
Prototype requesting complex, multi-sensor products from a single, seamless catalogue.
Smart & Fast Search:
Validate advanced tools to find data based on the image content, not just metadata, cutting down preparation time.
Actionable Insights:
Demonstrate how multi-mission data can be quickly turned into precise, timely insights for finance, climate, and agriculture.
