On September 3rd Vega rocket carrying student satellite Hämarik launched from the space center at Kourou in French Guiana. 
For now, we know that the Vega rocket has reached orbit and Hämarik has separated from the rocket. 

The earliest launch opportunity is August, 17th. Hämarik is the second of two student satellites that the TalTech - Tallinn University of Technology, in cooperation with DATEL, will launch into orbit. The Koit (Dawn) satellite launched on July 5 last year with a rocket from Russia.

TalTech Satellites, Koit and Hämarik, are built to monitor the Earth from space, both satellites have two remote-sensing cameras, one for color (RGB) and the other for near-infrared (NIR).
The Vega rocket has over 40 small satellites onboard - most of them cube-satellites like satellites Koit and Hämarik.

Led by Carl Pucci, we formed an international team across Europe for the EUvsVirus hackathon, and developed two products based on InSAR processing.

With over 150 countries represented, the World Energy Congress is the world’s largest and most influential energy event, covering all aspects of the energy agenda. Kaljulaid will be the keynote speaker at the congress on 10 September and will also participate in a panel discussion, “Getting to grips with the blockchain: Cutting through the hype”.

This is the most important energy event in the world with more than 150 countries participating. There are traditionally many state leaders, including this year the President of the Republic of Estonia, Kersti Kaljulaid.

At the event, Asse Hang will present SILLE as an e-service focused on using satellite data to monitor critical energy sector infrastructure including pipelines, mines, dams and power plants.

More to come on this exciting event!

Datel is providing InSAR data processing together with the ESA to support FEMA and US Army Corps of Engineers preparedness as Hurricane Dorian approaches the United States. Together with our American partners, we are remotely inspecting levee sections, urban areas and sea walls across Florida; and we stand by to do so in other states as the storm's track becomes clearer.

5th July Soyuz-2.1b rocket carrying student satellite Koit launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. TalTech student satellite project is being implemented by TalTech and DATEL together. Hämarik, our second student satellite, will launch on September 9.

Scope of certification: project management, development, implementation, training, maintenance, sales and rent of the solutions and services (including mission-critical) for information systems, information technology, data communication, and presentation techniques. ISO 27001 is the best-known international standard for an information security management system (ISMS). 

ITS Estonia delegation with Asse Hang from Datel introduced smart city solutions in the ITS Congress in Europe. ITS Congress in Europe is the largest event entirely dedicated to smart mobility and digitalization of transport is organized by ERTICO – ITS Europe. ITS Estonia was cooperating with Finnish colleagues from ITS Finland, to introduce solutions and products for organizations from the public and private sector.

Initially the students from the university planned to launch one satellite into orbit, but a prime opportunity recently arose for them to launch two. Datel is supporting TalTech’s Mektory Space Centre with calculation and presentation equipment and both satellites with software.

Driven by demanding environmental regulation, increased operating costs and a lack of skilled labour the European mining community are turning to digital technologies to boost productivity. The conference shared best practice and innovations from leading mines across Europe.

The data center named ESTHub helps technology companies obtain and process more quickly remote sensing data obtained from space. AS Datel uses remote sensing data collected by the Sentinel-1 satellite and disseminated via ESTHub, among others, in the new service Sille.  Via ESTHub we can get data about Estonia and the nearby region especially fast, which enables us to offer a service of particularly high quality. 

Sille gives you the power to see structural and surface deformation of any site on the planet, since 2014, from your browser. "The service, based on satellite data, helps prevent accidents caused by the disintegration of infrastructure, and its uses are very wide," explained ITL President Ivo Suursoo. 

March 20th 2019, Andreas Kiik, Head of Space of AS Datel, presented SILLE at the Space Industry Day in Riga.
