Our take
A lot of data analytics focuses on the small details - the digital footprint and individual clicks of a person’s online presence. Ursa Space Systems focuses on the big picture, quite literally, with its provision of satellite intelligence data.
Using over bank of over 16 million images of the earth, the applications of Ursa’s data are manifold - tracking logistics, weather, climate reporting, security intelligence, and plenty more. While a lot of business have their own data analysis capabilities, access to the data Ursa provides is obviously difficult to come by, which is was sets Ursa Space Systems out from the crowd.
Its a leading player in its corner of the market, and its recent funding acquisition is being used to expand its capabilities to better support emerging markets for this kind of data, like supply chain optimization, logistics, and insurance.
