Bayanat, a geospatial data products and services provider, and Abu Dhabi’s Al Yah Satellite Communications, better known as Yahsat, have launched a space programme aimed at building national satellite remote sensing and earth observation (EO) capabilities within the UAE. The space programme will look for business opportunities in the local and global EO market, Bayanat said in a statement to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, where its shares are traded. It aims to develop at least five SAR low Earth orbit satellites to provide a consistent data stream for end-to-end solutions for applications.
