• Partnership integrates complementary satellite data and AI analytics to enhance security, infrastructure, and environmental monitoring solutions for global customers

Space42, the UAE-based AI-powered SpaceTech company with global reach, has entered an agreement with LatConnect 60 (LC60 AI), an Australian Earth Observation provider, to collaborate on advanced geospatial intelligence solutions for government and commercial customers. The partnership combines both companies’ space-based data and analytics platforms to deliver faster, more actionable insights.

Under the arrangement, LatConnect 60 will access data from Space42’s Foresight Earth Observation constellation, comprised of five satellites in orbit. The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery from the constellation advances delivery of decision-grade, geospatial intelligence for partners and end customers including government, agritech, energy, infrastructure, maritime, mining, and forestry amongst others. Additionally, the partnership terms facilitate data integration from LatConnect 60’s upcoming SWIRSAT mission, into Space42’s AI-powered geospatial analytics platform GIQ. GIQ equips leaders with AI-derived geospatial insights that support faster, more confident decisions across multiple sectors. Following an expected 2026 launch, LatConnect60’s SWIRSAT satellites will collect high-resolution data on carbon emissions. The mission will enable enhanced analysis of greenhouse gas emissions, environmental risk, and infrastructure conditions.

Hasan Al Hosani, CEO of Smart Solutions at Space42, said: “Becoming the preferred partner for premium geospatial data and advancing our leadership in AI-driven geospatial intelligence are two of Space42’s core strategic pillars. Rooted in this focus, the partnership with LatConnect 60 strengthens our space technology ecosystem, turning satellite data into societal value more effectively, aiding emergency response processes, resource planning and scaling sustainability efforts.”

The move aligns with Space42’s efforts to realize the National Space Strategy 2030, as well as the National AI Strategy 2031, to promote a knowledge-based economy that accelerates artificial intelligence adoption, reinforces data-driven infrastructure resilience, and advances environmental stewardship.
