Earth data from the aircraft already above you.

The platform

A payload the size of a suitcase turns everyday aircraft into an observation platform.

An ESA-patented system that does not require launch or operations, with serviceable hardware when the aircraft are on the ground.

Wildfire detection

Take fire detection and management to a completely different level.

Real-time detection, fire extent mapping, and damage assessment by hundreds of aircraft already in the air.

Infrastructure monitoring

Your assets inspected on every flight overhead.

0.30 m in four bands, red, green, blue, and near-infrared, with 5 m thermal, co-registered, along power lines, pipelines, and railways.

Communication and IoT

The fleet as a relay layer for sensors beyond terrestrial networks.

Ground sensors talk to the aircraft overhead, which relays data instantly.

Six years of engineering.

Between 2017 and 2023 SkyfloX developed the system as prime contractor under ESA's ARTES programme, with Safran Engineering Services, a design organisation approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, Euro-Composites, an EASA-approved production organisation, EmTroniX, KT-Optics, and Spacemetric, and with Luxair, Transavia/KLM, and TUI as airline partners.

Payload
The Block I payload, cameras, electronics, thermal control, and composite radome, is built and integrated.
Certification
The EASA design package for the Boeing 737-800 is complete, prepared with Safran Engineering Services on a certification route agreed with EASA. The supplemental type certificate awaits the first installation, one ground test, and one flight test.
Software and ground segment
On-board operations software, ground control and audit portal, processing pipeline, and user portal, developed and in hand.
Regulatory
Extensive legal work covering the EU and neighbouring states resulted in 34 written clarifications from authorities on the use of ORCA over their territories.
