Open Cosmos joins the team! The multi-million-pound satellite and information firm committed to solving problems on Earth has joined Space Park Leicester. With more than 12 satellites delivered and even more in its backlog, Open Cosmos is deploying a constellation of sensors to monitor the Earth, taking advantage of the latest technologies. At the end of last year, Open Cosmos was also awarded a £5m project from the UK Space Agency's Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund (SCIF) to expand its manufacturing and research and development capability for microsatellite and constellation markets, while extending data exploitation reach and expertise with organisations such as Space Park Leicester. As part of its efforts to strengthen links with the scientific community and collaborative approach for data exploitation, Open Cosmos has now joined Space Park Leicester. Together with fellow Space Park resident Meridian Space Command, Open Cosmos will be supporting the University with the development of the Elfen mission. The Elfen mission aims to measure the composition of the solar wind and plasma sheet in near Earth space. Open Cosmos is helping to quickly accelerate the mission design process, aiding Space Park Leicester scientists and engineers in building a testable CubeSat model.
