RapidEye satellites will be able to monitor fields on a worldwide scale and to accurately predict the world harvest for different crops and revolutionise the agriculture, industrial and trading market sectors. Creating and maintaining up-to-date maps of the world is currently impossible but will be achievable with RapidEye’s service.
 VEGA has been awarded a three year framework to provide technical consultancy support for the full procurement cycle, from requirements review to in-orbit acceptance for a complete system.
VEGA was selected as a partner for RapidEye because of its extensive experience in satellite operations and control as well as procurement support. The technical consultancy for RapidEye will be coordinated from VEGA’s office in Germany based in Darmstadt, bringing together the relevant expertise available throughout the VEGA Group.
Michael Oxfort, member of the Management Team of RapidEye commented: “We are very happy to have such an experienced partner as VEGA working with us. With their expertise and knowledge about Earth observation missions we are more than confident that we will successfully implement our geo-information system serving the needs of our customers.”
