Vision

Our homeworld is exceptional. It sustains life because its many spheres – atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere – are in delicate balance.

Before we settle other worlds, we must first understand the working principles of our own planet. Sfera seeks to massively augment this understanding.

Mission

We’re here to help geospatial builders get unprecedented access to planetary data. To succeed, we are rethinking what it means to be a satellite imagery provider.

Why we do it

Founded in 2019, Sfera is the result of prior efforts to create a lean Earth Observation satellite mission. We realized that not sensor availability, but data delivery is the key problem. We weaponized our experience in mission design to resolve infrastructure bottlenecks by streamlining collection planning, tasking, downlink and delivery. Planetary understanding at scale is only possible with high-fidelity satellite imagery – and more of them.

Values

We constantly accumulate knowledge to help convert your ideas into real-world exploration.

Settling other worlds is a task of magnitude. To succeed, we must achieve full understanding of our own world first. Our total commitment to this objective means we will help you go beyond mere results.

Building a better future is impossible without empathy. Having a full grasp of what “better” means to the individual human should be the north star of every endeavor.

Who we are

We have solid experience in automation, aerospace engineering and scalable consumer applications.
