The first satellite of the Balearic Islands
Open Cosmos will manufacture the first Balearic satellite to mitigate the impact of climate change on tourism.
The main objective of the satellite will be to offer high resolution data that will allow research into new technologies and solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change in the tourism sector. Furthermore, the project seeks to support the transition of the sector towards a more sustainable model and to study the impact of initiatives to manage tourist saturation, which affects several destinations in the Balearic Islands.
Open Cosmos will manufacture this satellite, in collaboration with the Government of the Balearic Islands, Wireless DNA S.L., the University of the Balearic Islands and Garden Hotels, with the support of the Hotel Business Federation of Mallorca (FEHM). The initiative also has the support of renowned hotel chains such as Barceló Hotel Grup, Iberostar Group, Hyatt Inclusive Collection Europe, BQ Hotels, Grupotel Hotels & Resorts, Protur Hotels and Universal Beach Hotels.
The images and data obtained by the satellite will be essential for territorial management and critical infrastructure in the Balearic Islands. This data will also contribute to improving the management of emergencies and natural disasters, and to the development of new technologies and services that can benefit both the public and private sectors.
The satellite will provide administrations, research centers and companies with access to key information, which will facilitate more efficient and strategic decision-making in areas such as climate change, land management and tourism sustainability. This approach will strengthen the resilience of the Balearic Islands to the challenges of climate change, positioning the Islands as leaders in innovation and sustainability at an international level.
