Spacemetric

Our Centre of Excellence for Data Processing

Spacemetric has been shaping the future of satellite image management since 1999. With a strong heritage rooted in Swedish innovation, the company brings over two decades of experience in turning complex Earth observation data for ready analysis and action.

As part of the AAC Clyde Space group since 2024, Spacemetric plays a crucial role in our mission to deliver high-quality, timely data from space. Their advanced software systems streamline the entire image data chain, from onboard satellites to ground-based users, automating processes, increasing efficiency to ensuring geospatial precision.

Our Partners

Spacemetric’s solutions are trusted by space agencies, defence organisations, and environmental monitoring authorities worldwide. Their technology has been deployed in missions that demand both accuracy and speed, whether for climate science, national security, or disaster response.

Their legacy includes pioneering work in onboard data processing and ground segment systems, enabling real-time image correction and optimized data delivery. This expertise complements our capabilities across the group, enhancing the performance and impact of the satellite constellations we design, build, and operate.

With Spacemetric, we strengthen our ability to offer end-to-end space-based services, where high-quality data, delivered fast and ready for use, is the foundation for smarter decisions on Earth.

Spacemetric Product Suite

Keystone: On-Premise Image Processing & Management

A tried-and-tested server-based system for multi-source image and video data (satellites, drones, aircraft), Keystone converts raw sensor output into high-quality orthoimages and mosaics. With support for over 50 sensor types, automated workflows, APIs, catalogue services, and operator consoles, it is ideal for ground-station hubs, mission control centers, and archive systems. Keystone is proven in smallsat constellations and defense deployments, delivering reliability with controlled lifecycle costs.

Bluestone: Edge Computing for Onboard Intelligence

Tailored for compute-constrained platforms like smallsats and drones, Bluestone brings Spacemetric’s image processing heritage into orbit. It conducts radiometric and geometric corrections onboard, manages metadata, synchronises with ground nodes, and supports embedded analytics—transforming platforms into smart data nodes. It has been validated in space with low-power CPUs and tested in airborne surveillance, demonstrating live use in partnered systems.

Cloudstone: Scalable, Cloud‑Native Imaging as a Service

Cloudstone delivers processing, product generation, and distribution as a managed SaaS. It supports sensor-agnostic ingestion, customisation for new sensors, and scales effortlessly, from sensor demos to full satellite fleets. No infrastructure to maintain: just a service-level agreement, transparent pricing, and flexible performance-adjusted billing.

Why This Matters to AAC Clyde Space Customers
