Blue Skies Space accelerates the delivery of space science data to the world's research communities.
About us
Blue Skies Space is pioneering a new model to deliver high-quality space science data in accelerated timescales to the global scientific community to enable them to answer humanity’s greatest scientific questions. Through a fleet of low-Earth orbit satellites, we aim to serve the global demand for high-quality science data across many research areas including the monitoring of stars, understanding what the atmospheres of faraway exoplanets are made of as well as the composition of asteroids in our solar system. With offices in the UK and Italy, we have assembled an experienced team who have previously worked at organisations such as NASA, Airbus, Surrey Satellite Technology, Caltech and UCL, bringing a wealth of expertise in space science, satellite engineering, satellite construction and operations.
