About the EO Data Hub

The EO Data Hub will build a next-generation data platform to give the UK a single portal for accessing and processing satellite data to develop new applications and environmental insights.

The consortium is led by NCEO, including CEDA@ STFC RAL Space and University of Leicester staff, and includes:

• Satellite Applications Catapult
• Met Office
• National Physical Laboratory
• UK Space Agency

It represents a new UK capability enabling access to diverse satellite data sets for the benefit of UK industry, academia and government.

Example applications are likely to include the following but the EODH will be capable of supporting a wide variety of sectors and themes: climate, carbon services, agriculture, green finance systems, flooding, energy etc.

The EODH has been funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), part of UKRI, through the Copernicus transition, national project funding provided by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
