About UP42

"The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, is 42."
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams

We believe Earth observation data should be easier to work with

UP42 was founded in Berlin in 2019 with a simple idea: working with Earth observation data shouldn’t be as difficult as it often is.

Satellite, aerial, and other geospatial data help organizations understand change, monitor assets, respond faster, and make better decisions. But accessing and using that data has traditionally required deep expertise, multiple provider relationships, and complex technical workflows.

We set out to change that. Today, UP42 works with customers, data providers, and partners around the world to make Earth observation data easier to find, order, manage, and use, at scale.

What we do

We connect organizations with the data they need

UP42 brings together leading geospatial data providers and makes their data available through one platform.
Customers use the UP42 platform to access archive imagery, task new data collections, process geospatial data, and integrate it into their own tools and workflows.
