Domains Domain 06 · From downlink to API, and compute in orbit

Cloud

From orbit to your screen, at scale.

A secure pipeline that moves satellite data from ground stations to analysis-ready products and APIs, with sovereign options for government and a path to computing in space.

The challenge

What stands in the way.

Three problems we hear from cloud teams again and again.

01

Petabyte-scale data

Satellite archives grow every day and are costly to store and move.

02

Sovereignty

Government data often must stay within national borders.

03

Slow delivery

Data that takes days to process loses its value.

On Earth

The Norzva data pipeline

Downlink, processing, cataloguing and delivery in one platform: calibrated, analysis-ready data reaches you through a portal or API within minutes of reception.

In orbit

Computing beyond the ground

Laser links between satellites and processing in orbit will move data faster and reduce how much must be downlinked at all.

Questions

Can the platform run in our own data centre?

A sovereign, on-premises option is in development for government customers.

Which formats do you deliver?

Cloud-optimised GeoTIFF, GeoJSON and standard catalogue (STAC) metadata.

Can you process data from other satellites?

Yes. Our ground segment and pipeline can serve other operators.

How is data secured?

Encryption in transit and at rest, with role-based access.
