GAF AG, together with its partner Telespazio Iberica has begun to map an additional 49,000 sqkm in the northeast of the country based on high-resolution optical satellite data. The consortium has already successfully mapped 84,000 sqkm to support the activities under PROMINES (support to the mining sector project). The maps in scale 1:50,000 (s. example) comply with international standards, and will later be used as base information for geological and mineral potential mapping. This will follow in later stages of this project, which is funded and supervised by the World Bank, Washington.

In June, we asked our complete staff to think about a new slogan for GAF. We received so many great slogans! The selection of the “one” slogan was too hard for us. For that reason, we decided that we have to use more than one! Take a closer look at our GAF slogan cloud!

User requirements form the very basis for a future hyperspectral satellite mission. As partner in a study on Hyperspectral Imaging Mission Concepts for the Next-Generation Copernicus Space Component, GAF has coordinated the consolidation and assessment of user requirements. This work has been performed with partners including DLR German Aerospace Agency and GFZ Geoforschungszentrum Potsdam and covered a comprehensive number of application domains. Starting from this the lead partner OHB could then develop different mission configurations and a baseline concept.

The work has been carried out in the frame of the HYPERNEXT study, led by OHB Bremen and is funded by and performed for ESA. A summary of the study results is scheduled to become available on the ESA website.

On 3rd May 2018, the production results for the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service’s High-Resolution Layer (HRL) 2015  were presented to the European Environment Agency (EEA) in Copenhagen, Denmark. This was done at the HRL 2015 Final Meeting.

ESA opened a call for R&D applications with our 5 m Euro-Maps 3D DSM products under its Third Party Mission activities. This provides a great opportunity to start-ups in ESA-supported Business Incubation Centres and researchers to try our high-quality product free of charge. See the open call here.

GAF is presenting its Elevation Suite 3D products at the Bulgarian EU Council Presidency’s & ESA’s regional workshop entitled “Space-based services for regional strategies in the digital economy: Balkan & Black Sea perspective” in Sofia on 18thand 19th April 2018. The conference is being attended by numerous government officials, as well as representatives from public entities and agencies, research institutions and private sector companies. Interested parties can learn there about the unique capabilities and specifications of GAF’s digital elevation model products, and explore them interactively in a virtual 3D environment.
