On May 14, 2025, Tiepoint held a focused workshop with Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) in Tromsø to align efforts within the ESA Civil Security from Space (CSS) project. The goal was to deepen technical collaboration and explore how satellite data can support crisis scenarios such as search and rescue, wildfires, landslides, and coastal incidents.
KSAT presented their extensive Earth Observation capabilities, including near real-time access to SAR and optical imagery across a wide range of satellite missions. The dialogue focused on practical use cases, such as detecting missing vessels, fire risk monitoring, and terrain mapping for rescue operations. AI-assisted image processing and human-in-the-loop (HITL) validation were also key themes.
The teams agreed to continue collaboration on integrating satellite data into Tiepoint’s AI platform and the future Data Fusion Center. Next steps include technical alignment on data formats, further workshops with emergency authorities, and prioritization of joint use cases.
This marks a significant milestone in the CSS project’s ambition to connect space-based intelligence with frontline civil protection.
