An introduction to the GRAVITY Challenge
The GRAVITY Challenge aims to increase commercialisation of satellite technologies. It asks organisations (industry partners) to identify ‘challenges’ that could be addressed with earth observation data, the commitment is to present the challenge and provide a mento. The Innovators (i.e. the participating teams) will have full IP ownership of the final solution. However, if the teams are comprised of members from multiple companies, sharing separate IPs, team members will have to define IP sharing agreements by themselves.
GRAVITY Challenge is an innovation program exploring new uses for satellite data and space sector technology. This includes earth observation data, positioning data, communications and other forms of space technology. Find out more from the press release – Gravity Challenge 2020 Goes Global.
Why is this technology of interest?
Satellite data and space sector technology is increasingly accessible due to factors such as miniaturization and commoditisation of satellite components, increase in launch locations (we will soon have two launch sites in the UK!), and accessibility via cloud technologies.
