Aspia Space deliver intelligence you can rely on, and insights to act on. Solve problems faster, discover new opportunities, and manage resources more efficiently. When you know the truth on the ground, it’s no longer a guessing game. With ClearSky, you’re confident of making informed choices, accurate predictions, and profitable decisions.
How is ClearSky different?
ClearSky’s patented algorithm uses cloud-penetrating Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Earth Observation data in a revolutionary way. ClearSky harnesses AI to predict full spectrum visible and short-wave infrared imagery of the ground at high resolution, even when there’s 100% cloud cover. It’s like looking at the Earth as though there were no clouds at all. No one else can do this.
With ClearSky imagery, you can explore multiple scales, from entire countries, right down to a pixel scale of 10m. And because it provides regular imaging uninterrupted by cloud, it allows for deep investigation of temporal change, over days, weeks, months or years. This is critical for understanding trends, detecting anomalies and making predictions. As our climate changes, this is vital intelligence, relevant to multiple industries.
ClearSky patented technology is the result of over three years’ development combining techniques from observational astrophysics and cutting-edge AI. It unlocks Earth Observation intelligence that would otherwise be lost, offering simple-to-use imaging data that can be analysed in myriad ways.
ClearSky transforms performance across multiple industries
Agriculture
Monitoring land over the growing season, farmers often only have a handful of clear satellite views to work from. Due to cloud cover, they’ll miss critical information. Is the crop healthy? Is it growing as expected? Are there signs of damage or disease? ClearSky sees through the cloud to provide regular, reliable imaging of all agricultural land, every few days. Acting on this information improves efficiency, boosts yields and cuts costs.
Insurance
Extreme flooding is increasingly a critical threat to life, property and economies. ClearSky maps the presence of surface water in detail, pinpointing regions that are most at risk and tracking the onset and recovery of flooding events. Because it sees all of the ground, unobscured, every few days, it can identify regions that previously were not prone to flooding but now show increased risk. This is vital for our successful adaptation to a changing climate
Land management
Imagine being able to classify the current use of every 10x10m patch of land, every few days. You could take a rolling census of what crops are growing across entire countries, see what fields have just been harvested, check how much land is bare soil, measure the surface area of every reservoir, the density of every forest… ClearSky transforms land-use monitoring, delivering dynamic intelligence that empowers decision making - from scales below a single field to an entire continent.
Tracking temporal change worldwide, across all terrains
Scotland, UK, January 2020
South-East Turkey, September 2021
ClearSky can be applied anywhere around the globe. It recovers the full range of land types, from snow-capped mountains to rainforests, to deserts, and everything in between. And it tracks how these environments change over time.

Anticipating flood risk areas
Humber region, UK
Major flooding event, Northern England November 2019. ClearSky can pin-point surface water using a combination of short-wave infrared and optical imagery, mapping the location of flood water. Since ClearSky provides a regular, cloud-free view of the ground, flood events can be tracked accurately even in the presence of cloud. This data allows us to build up a dynamic flood risk map, identifying regions most susceptible to this environmental threat.
Monitoring vegetation
ClearSky provides access to the full optical and short-wave infrared spectrum, making it easy to monitor vegetation growth. For example, the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which is sensitive to the presence of photosynthesising vegetation, can be mapped and tracked over time, from scales of just 10 metres to entire countries. This sequence of images shows the density of vegetation as traced by NDVI for the UK over 2020.
