xSPANCION is transformational. It lays the groundwork to provide space data and services quickly and at low cost to organisations that are eager to harness the benefits of space to tackle on-Earth problems
Find out moreWe are currently working with leading organisations, such as Orbcomm and Wyvern Inc, to provide Space Data as a Service, and by securing the xSPANCION contract to design and develop an innovative constellation, we continue to anchor the development of SDaaS to our clients.

Find out moreOur partners at Wyvern Inc, a Canadian Earth observation company, have committed to subscribing to our data service for four years. This custom package is set to deliver high-resolution, multi-band, hyperspectral data from space over an initial four-year period. The satellites will deliver high-resolution hyperspectral data, a method for capturing images of Earth across multiple bands, providing much more information than the three main colour bands that the human eye detects. Wyvern will first offer the data to the agriculture sector, where it will help to optimise yields and detect invasive plants, pests and changes in soil make-up.
“Wyvern aims to deliver Earth observation data in the hyperspectral bands to new customers at greater value. Working with AAC Clyde Space is a first step in securing the market while we develop optical technology that will continue to revolutionise space-based data for a variety of sectors.”
Chris Robson, CEO, Wyvern
Through AAC Omnisys, we have gained a leading position in space-based weather data, a field set to grow strongly as new technology supports dramatically improved forecasts. Their company’s capabilities in developing pioneering payloads will be significant in building constellations that can provide high-quality, timely data for a range of applications to meet the needs of users in industries ranging from aviation, insurance and agriculture to commodities. Their innovative microwave-based sensor, designed for advanced space projects, provides superior-quality weather data to support radically improved weather forecasting and data for climate research.
Together with Saab and ORBCOMM, we are developing the first satellite of a potential future constellation that will provide a space-based VDES (Very High Frequency Data Exchange System) for two-way communication with the Earth’s surface. The added space capability will increase VDES’s range from the shoreline to anywhere in the ocean, converting what is currently a predominantly coastal system into a global maritime system.
