KappaZeta Ltd

Happy Holidays from all of us at KappaZeta! 🎅 It has been a busy year, and now it’s time to take a well-deserved break. Thank you to our clients, partners and supporters for making it possible for us to keep doing our fulfilling work! See you in 2025! 🥂

Once again, the KappaZeta business development team is stronger than ever. We’re excited to welcome Erik Ehasoo as the business development lead for our 3D-SAR services.  His goal will be to turn our 3D-SAR space mission services into a commercial success. We met Erik in the CASSINI business accelerator programme, where he was our lead coach. We can say that we were 150% successful – on top of successfully graduating the programme, we gained a key member of our team. 

A proud moment! 🥳 KappaZeta won 3rd place in the European Space Agency - ESA CommEO Award competition with our 3D-SAR mission and associated carbon stock and stem volume measurement services. Another quality mark and proof that we are developing a high impact mission for the world. Excellent work, Martin Jüssi & co! 👏 #startup #award #spacetech #space #earthobservation #remotesensing #commercialisation #business #carbon #carbonstock #climate #forestry

Tune in to the webinar Ecoschemes under the CAP on Monday, 18 November at 14:00 CET! Catherine Akinyi will present how KappaZeta detects conventional and conservation tillage practices using AI. Monitoring different tillage methods helps recognize and reward farmers who adopt practices that have a lower environmental impact. 🌿 #AI #machinelearning #RemoteSensing #earthobservation #satellitedata #Agriculture #agtech #farminginnovation #tillage #AMS #sustainability #carbon

There is always something new happening in remote sensing! 🌍🛰️ Estonian newspaper Postimees recently showcased many of the exciting developments in KappaZeta: from a pilot project to detect forest clear-cuts for the Keskkonnaagentuur / Estonian Environment Agency to new satellites that will enhance Sentinel-1 data, enabling measurement of vegetation height with higher accuracy.

Don't miss KappaZeta's presentation at the IAC! On Friday (18.10) Martin Jüssi will share how we plan to add dimensions to Sentinel-1 data with a new satellite mission, which we call "3D-SAR". 🛰️ 📌 Time and location: B1.2 Earth Observation Systems session at 11:55 in the Green Hall 1. See you there!

KappaZeta's Catherine Akinyi and Tanya Shtym presented the final results of the AI tillage project to the European Space Agency - ESA today. Within the project, we developed AI models capable of detecting both conventional and conservation tillage across the Baltic Sea region using freely available satellite imagery. The models delivered promising results, with F1 scores ranging from 83-95%. Interested in learning more? 👉 Reach out to Catherine Akinyi. A big thank you to Zoltan Szantoi and Ewelina Dobrowolska for guidance and helpful advice throughout the project! The activity AI-based tillage detection for improved agricultural and climate policies was carried out under a programme of, and funded by, the European Space Agency.

📢 Less than a week until applications close! KappaZeta is hiring a Software Lead — someone to lead our talented team of software engineers and build robust, scalable products for climate and defense applications. ⚪ Full job description: https://lnkd.in/dAJgpcju NB! Application is open until October 1st.

Remote sensing data is powerful. KappaZeta's strength lies in working with radar data, but when we combine it with optical imagery from satellites like Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B, our machine learning models achieve new heights of accuracy and predictive power. 🌍📡 With the newly-launched Sentinel-2C soon joining the Copernicus program, there’s a tremendous opportunity to increase revisit frequency, improve performance, and deliver even more precise insights to our clients. Having three optical satellites in orbit together – Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-2B, and Sentinel-2C – would be highly beneficial due to the increased revisit frequency. But there’s a challenge: due to budget constraints, the Copernicus program plans to decommission Sentinel-2A once Sentinel-2C becomes fully operational. This would limit the potential of having all three satellites active at the same time. We believe Sentinel-2A still has a lot to offer. We support the petition that urges the Copernicus program to extend Sentinel-2A’s operations. You can also voice your support! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gz9qVJnf 🙌 A huge congratulations to everyone involved in the successful launch of Sentinel-2C! #RemoteSensing #Copernicus #Sentinel2 #MachineLearning #EarthObservation #SatelliteData #Innovation #Petition #ExtendSentinel2A
