The JVCo also intends to tap on emerging new space technologies to pursue potential business opportunities for low cost small satellites or smallsat constellation design development manufacturing and operation.We are excited by this joint venture with DSO. Leveraging the complementary strengths of both organisations we will offer advanced geospatial analytics to the global market and exploit the vast possibilities in smallsat constellation for commercial applications. This joint venture will enhance the space eco-system in Singapore as we work with industry partners to commercialise geospatial services and new space technologies said Mr Ravinder Singh President Electronics ST Engineering.This is DSOs third joint venture with ST Engineering. We share a common vision to support the growth of Singapores space industry. DSO is happy to be able to contribute our research and systems engineering competencies as well as geospatial analytic capabilities to the success of this vision said Mr Cheong Chee Hoo Chief Executive Officer DSO National Laboratories. The satellite industry is being disrupted by technological advances that enable faster development and launch of lower cost yet reliable high resolution small satellite constellations making large volumes of satellite imagery readily available. This coupled with the advancement of data analytics and machine learning technologies are empowering customers with critical insights to drive business growth and smart city applications. Some of these include the remote detection of real-time changes of on-site infrastructure development projects movement of ships for enhanced maritime safety as well as precision agriculture mapping for enhanced yield and sustainability.The agreement was signed by Mr Cheong Chee Hoo and Mr Ravinder Singh at the Global Space and Technology Convention GSTC 2019 today and witnessed by Mr Chan Chun Sing Minister for Trade Industry and Mr Vincent Chong President CEO of ST Engineering.
