Who we are

Sometimes we need to take a step back from a problem in order to solve it.

The bigger the problem, the further we need to go.

How far do we go to solve the most complex problems in the world?

Outer space.

Space harbours the insight and perspective to address the most pressing challenges the planet faces.

Imagine. How many lives, homes and businesses could be saved by better hurricane forecasts? What opportunities could we create by bringing online the 3.5 billion people without internet access?

Small satellites are enabling us finally to meet these challenges, and many more. The data they collect, or ‘space data’, empowers us to make better decisions that improve life on Earth.

But to be impactful, this data must be relevant, high-quality, timely – and accessible to those who need it.

That’s where AAC Clyde Space come in.
