Open Cosmos End-to-End Satellite Missions

Open Cosmos is a UK space company based in Didcot, with entities in Barcelona, Porto and Attica, Greece. It combines satellites, connectivity and AI-driven data so that governments and organisations can use space for climate, energy and natural resource challenges without building a space programme from scratch.

Its OpenOrbit mission service covers constellation and payload design, in-house manufacture and testing, insurance and licensing, launch procurement through partnerships with eight launch sites, and operations through to safe disposal using its own mission control software. Satellites come in 3U, 6U, 12U, 16U and microsatellite sizes. Data flows to the DataCosmos cloud platform for tasking and analytics, and customers can also join the shared OpenConstellation or the ConnectedCosmos LEO connectivity network. Missions include Greece's Hyperion GR-1 and the Balearic Islands' Posidònia satellite.

• OpenConstellation: shared satellite infrastructure giving access to data from many satellites.
• ConnectedCosmos: secure LEO network for satellite broadband and direct-to-device IoT.

• A Vietnamese province or ministry commissioning a 16U observation satellite for coastal and land monitoring.
• Energy and agriculture companies joining OpenConstellation to access imagery without owning a satellite.
• Telecom operators exploring direct-to-device IoT over ConnectedCosmos for remote areas and islands.

• One contract covers design, manufacturing, licensing, insurance, launch and operations.
• Entry price from GBP 500,000, with infrastructure developed in months.
• Reported 100% in-orbit reliability and up to 99.7% uptime on current missions.

Regional and national governments increasingly commission their own small satellites for sovereignty over climate and land data, and want secure connectivity in parallel. Southeast Asian countries facing floods, deforestation and coastal change look for affordable turnkey missions with data platforms included.
