On today’s Constellations Podcast, we’ll discuss emerging business and technology trends in Earth observation.  With us today is Aravind Ravichandran, founder of TerraWatch Space, a company devoted to providing insight to satellite Earth observation. In this episode, Aravind will discuss emerging business models and technical advances being employed by EO, such as  “space-as-a-service” and “satellite-as-a-service”, data fusion and onboard computing.  He will also discuss the difference between space strategy and data strategy and how they impact the EO industry. Listen as he discusses “sovereign earth observation”, essentially an EO strategy for national governments.
