Synspective Becomes World's First Commercial SAR Data Provider to Achieve CEOS-ARD Certification
Japanese satellite startup Synspective has announced that its Orthorectified Products (ORT) processing pipeline has received Normalised Radar Backscatter (NRB) certification under the CEOS Analysis Ready Data (CEOS-ARD) standard, making it the world's first commercial SAR data provider to achieve this global certification.
Highlights
- Synspective is the world's first commercial SAR data provider to receive CEOS-ARD NRB (Normalised Radar Backscatter) certification.
- The certified product is Synspective's Orthorectified Products (ORT) processing pipeline, which meets CEOS international standards for geometric and radiometric correction.
- CEOS-ARD certification eliminates the need for extensive data pre-processing, enabling faster deployment of satellite data applications for government, scientific, and enterprise users.
- The achievement is expected to prompt other commercial satellite operators to pursue CEOS-ARD certification, advancing standardization across the remote sensing industry.
Japanese satellite technology startup Synspective has announced that its Orthorectified Products (ORT) processing pipeline has officially received certification under the Normalised Radar Backscatter (NRB) standard of the CEOS Analysis Ready Data (CEOS-ARD) framework.
The certification makes Synspective the world's first commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data provider to achieve CEOS-ARD global certification, marking a significant milestone in the standardization of commercial satellite remote sensing data.
What Is CEOS-ARD Certification?
CEOS-ARD is an international data quality standard established by the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), designed to ensure consistency and interoperability of satellite remote sensing data across different platforms and sensors. The standard enables users to apply raw satellite data to real-world analysis more rapidly, without extensive pre-processing.
The NRB standard is a sub-specification within CEOS-ARD developed specifically for SAR imagery. It requires data providers to meet rigorous international benchmarks in geometric correction, radiometric correction, and backscatter normalization.
Industry Significance
By achieving this certification, Synspective has demonstrated that its ORT processing pipeline meets the highest international standards, enhancing the credibility and usability of commercial SAR data for scientific research, government applications, and enterprise decision-making.
Organizations procuring or integrating Synspective satellite data will be able to bypass time-consuming data validation steps, accelerating the deployment of downstream applications.
The achievement is also expected to encourage other commercial satellite operators to pursue similar certification, driving the broader industry toward a more highly standardized data ecosystem.
