The project aims to transform the use of satellite technology and space science for the water industry. This includes the design and launch of micro satellites to provide frequent satellite imagery covering the entire UK water network. Enabling water companies through machine-learning algorithms gain rich insights to make quicker decisions.
“This project helps us spot water problems faster – from days down to hours. That means less wasted water, lower costs, and quicker fixes. By using small satellites and smart tools, we can protect the environment and give water companies the info they need to act fast.”
Joe Latrell, CEO, Quub Inc.
