Celestia UK is announcing at the UK Space Conference 2025 that it has commenced the preproduction stage of a new generation of ground station gateway.

The milestone marks a major step forward in proving that phased array ground stations are now ready for commercial deployment.

The Edinburgh based business, part of the pan-European Celestia group, has started building preproduction units of the world’s first multi-beam Ka-band gateway following the successful extended testing of the system with JoeySat, validating the gateway’s ability to communicate reliably with spacecraft over a nine month period.

“With the green light to move ahead, our teams have already started work on the first preproduction units of the Ka-band gateway, showing that the era of electronically steered gateways has now arrived,” says Dr Malachy Devlin, CEO of Celestia UK.

“This marks a key stage in the evolution of our work on the UK Space Agency supported Sunrise project with ESA and Eutelsat OneWeb, as phased array systems transition into commercially viable solutions.

Fugro has entered into a strategic collaboration with Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, to provide integrated geospatial solutions that empower climate resilience decision-making and sustainable development.

Initially, the joint effort will focus on tackling the environmental challenges of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), starting with SIDS in the Caribbean. Nearly 22 million people in SIDS live less than six metres above sea level, placing communities and infrastructures at high risk from coastal hazards. Yet, data gaps remain a major barrier. Many countries don’t have access to timely, user-friendly, and coordinated environmental data systems, especially at the land-sea interface. Fugro and Esri are helping SIDS confront urgent coastal and marine threats while building the foundation for long-term resilience and sustainable development.

The initiative is met with enthusiasm by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and the PVBLIC Foundation, who are both actively advocating sustainable development support for SIDS in the region.

His Excellency Dr Didicus Jules of OECS said, “This collaboration between Esri and Fugro exemplifies the kind of strategic partnership the region needs- where geospatial innovation meets actionable environmental intelligence. While high quality data is essential, it’s the insights derived from that data that empower our member states to make informed, timely and transformative decisions. In the face of climate change, we build resilience not through rhetoric, but through real solutions that drive purposeful action.”

Collaboration Will Integrate Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, Further Democratizing Geospatial Understanding and Workflows

Esri, the provider of geographic information system (GIS) technology, is integrating Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service into ArcGIS. This powerful collaboration equips users with all new AI assistants to simplify work with geospatial data, maps, and analytics. In addition, the AI’s natural language interaction will enable users to quickly understand complex spatial problems.

The new integration will improve problem-solving and productivity in numerous ways for users, including:

*Actively employing GeoAI to streamline problem-solving with enhanced data analysis, pattern detection, and change tracking. Intelligence organizations can automate event analysis; agriculture and forestry organizations can detect invasive species; the oil and gas sector can monitor assets; public safety agencies can use predictive analytics for traffic and emergency response; and insurance companies can use data to expedite claims and recovery processes.

*AI assistants available as a resource to help GIS analysts boost productivity and make information products more accessible to everyone. Embedded AI assistants across ArcGIS products help analysts create content, introspect and summarize data, provide suggestions and recommendations, and even write code.

*ArcGIS for Teams features a Declarative Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot, which provides AI-driven search and discovery of authoritative maps, apps, and location data directly within Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft 365 portal pages. Users can efficiently find and access essential data within the information about people, infrastructure, and the environment. It supports searches for both publicly available ArcGIS content and private organizational geographic data.

Neo Space Group (NSG) has officially finalized its acquisition of UP42, integrating the Earth Observation platform into the NSG organization.

Neo Space Group (NSG) announced that the company has completed its previously announced acquisition of UP42 GmbH, the leading Earth Observation (EO) platform previously owned by Airbus Defence and Space GmbH. Following the initial announcement in December 2024, UP42 is now formally part of the NSG organization.

This strategic acquisition substantially enhances the capabilities of both organizations. NSG significantly expands its market reach, deepens its technological expertise, and gains access to a broader range of geospatial assets. The transaction also enables UP42 to accelerate its international growth and drive geospatial innovation on a global scale, positioned to deliver even stronger services to its fast-growing customer base and to expand the platform’s reach for its partners.

Airbus Defence and Space has been selected as prime contractor for the development and manufacture of two new PAZ-2 radar satellites, securing continuity of the current Earth observation PAZ satellite, in service since 2018.

The programme, led by Hisdesat for the Spanish Ministry of Defence, represents a key milestone for the Spanish space industry since around 65% of the satellites' content will be developed by Spanish industry, led by Airbus.

The PAZ-2 satellites, among the most advanced in the world, will be more capable than their predecessor, significantly improving the image quality and resolution to better than 25 centimetres, while increasing the coverage up to 6.7 million km² per day and satellite, and orbiting the Earth 16 times daily. These improvements will strengthen the intelligence and surveillance capabilities of the Spanish Armed Forces, as well as civilian applications in infrastructure monitoring, risk management, border control and disaster assessment, capturing radar imagery 24 hours a day and in all weather conditions

SimActive, a developer of photogrammetry software, announces the use of its Correlator3D product by SurvTech Solutions to process large image datasets from drones and large-format cameras. The software is used to create geospatial products, such as digital surface models and orthomosaics.

Correlator3D is often used in conjunction with LiDAR data to complement imagery. When LiDAR is not used, high-quality surfaces are created from photogrammetry, even for waterbodies, which can be challenging with other tools.

“We have been using Correlator3D for more than nine years and one of its biggest advantages is how quickly it can process large amounts of data”, said Mark Bickel, UAV Department Manager at SurvTech Solutions. “SimActive’s software handles large datasets much better than any other solution out there.”
