SSkyWatch builds the infrastructure to distribute Earth observation data. It aggregates imagery from many satellite operators and serves two main customer groups through two products. For data consumers, EarthCache offers a single API to search, order, and integrate satellite imagery into applications, lowering the complexity of dealing with multiple providers and licensing models. For satellite operators, TerraStream provides data storage, cataloging, ordering, and delivery, acting like a marketplace backend that lets operators monetize their data without handling distribution logistics. Revenue comes from pay-as-you-go pricing for data consumers and subscription services for providers. The company’s aim is to democratize access to Earth observation data and expand the commercial space economy by making it easier to obtain and monetize satellite imagery.
