Astrium Services’ GEO-Information team has now taken satellite-based monitoring to a new level. Based on cutting-edge satellite imagery and standard and advanced image analysis, processing and interpretation, the new service Go Monitor provides high-quality change information for any area of interest worldwide on a reliable and cost-effective basis.

No matter how remote or inaccessible a site may be, with daily revisit options and independent of weather conditions, Go Monitor supports users around the globe in their day-to-day operations. Go Monitor helps you to effectively monitor activities, to precisely understand the environment in which they operate and to take well-informed decisions.

• Defense & intelligence bodies observe infrastructure for effective targeting and identification of relevant assets
• Oil & gas organizations monitor exploration, production and facilities – both onshore and offshore – for the benefit of health, safety and environmental responsibility, as well as improved productivity and the fulfillment of external regulations
• Civil engineering companies monitor under and above ground construction of infrastructure, both existing and under development, to increase safety and performance

Go Monitor is a fully client-tailored service. Based on the individual area of interest, the type of change to be monitored and the project timeline and frequency, a monitoring program that best meets the client’s requirements is defined.

This unique service provides high-quality change information based on standard image analysis and advanced image interpretation by application-specific experts. The monitoring results are delivered as comprehensive and ready-to-use reports highlighting relevant changes in the area of interest and include the satellite imagery as well as the processing, interpretation and analysis by the expert.

When a new report is available, subscribers simply receive an email alert and can securely access them from anywhere, anytime through the Go Monitor web portal.

As an alternative, users may also opt for an off-the-shelf site monitoring solution. Over 60 hotspots around the globe are currently being regularly monitored, for example the Sepanggar Naval Base (Malaysia), the site of the Deepwater Horizon (Gulf of Mexico), the Baboungue forest exploitation site (Central African Republic).

Go Monitor relies on Astrium GEO-Information Services’ unique access to a multi-resolution, multi-sensor Earth observation satellite constellation containing both optical and radar satellites – recently enhanced by the new Pléiades 1A high-resolution optical satellite, and with three additional satellites scheduled to be launched within the next two years.

Through its GEO-Information services, Astrium is recognized as one of the leaders in the geo-spatial information market, not least thanks to the now fully integrated skills and resources of the former Spot Image and Infoterra. The company provides decision-makers with complete solutions enabling them to increase security, boost agricultural performance, maximize oil & gas or mining operations, improve their management of natural resources and protect the environment. It has exclusive access to data from the SPOT, TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites – and Pléiades, coupled with a complete range of space-based data sources and airborne acquisition capability allowing it to offer an unrivalled scope of Earth observation products and services. This extensive portfolio covers the entire geo-information supply chain, from the generation of images to the provision of high added-value information to end-users.

By leveraging the synergies and expertise available across the whole of Astrium Services, its GEO-Information teams develop innovative, yet competitive, bespoke solutions based on the combination and integration of Earth observation, navigation and high-end telecommunications.
