Space
Satellites see every field, forest, city and coastline on Earth. The value comes when the right people get the right answer at the right time.
Ministry of Detail works on both sides of that problem. We help nations build the systems that collect the data. We help companies turn the data into products that customers buy.
Satellite strategy for nations
A national Earth observation programme is a big investment. It must serve farmers, planners, emergency services and defence for many years. It must also be possible to buy, build and run.
We advise governments and their agencies on the full chain. We start with the users and the decisions they need to make. Then we work back to the satellites, the ground stations, the data processing and the services that put the data to work.
Our advice comes from experience. Our team has worked on satellite missions and with government customers across the world, in civil and defence organisations, the UN and NATO.
