DOMINO-E Whitepaper: New Business Opportunities in Airbus’ New Constellation for Earth Observation

The Earth observation (EO) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) markets are growing rapidly. In a 2022 market report by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), it was assumed that annual sales from these two sectors combined would soon reach 500 billion Euro. Advancements in satellite technology and the growing demand for data-driven insights across various sectors fuel this growth. From precision agriculture and environmental monitoring to disaster management and urban planning, EO and GNSS data transform how we understand and interact with our planet.

However, accessing and utilizing this wealth of information remains challenging for many businesses and researchers. The current landscape is fragmented, with multiple data sources, complex interfaces, and limited interoperability. This creates barriers to entry for SMEs and startups, hindering innovation and growth in the EO sector.

Domino-E: A Federated System for the Future of Earth Observation

The Domino-E project (www.domino-e.eu), funded by the European Union and led by AIRBUS Defence and Space, is poised to revolutionize the EO landscape by creating a federated system based on open standards and a cloud-based service. This innovative approach will democratize access to EO data, enabling new enterprises to join the ecosystem and develop specialized solutions for diverse market needs.
