A glimpse behind the scenes - Just 6 of the satellites preparing to leave our Harwell facility.

These satellites represent just a fraction of the pipeline rolling off our 24/7 assembly lines in Harwell. With functional and environmental testing currently underway across the full batch. We are officially gearing up for the next phase of the ConnectedCosmos constellation.

ConnectedCosmos will enable direct point-to-point communications, delivering a truly sovereign global capability. By bypassing undersea cables entirely, this architecture removes the need to touch the public internet, introducing a brand-new level of network resiliency to the satcom sector.

Turning this level of capability into reality is a massive effort from the entire team.

The aftermath of the wildfire across the New Forest.

The major wildfire near Poulner Hill and the A31 has left a devastating mark on the New Forest’s delicate heathland. As crews work tirelessly on the ground and the smoke clears, Earth observation provides the clear, high-resolution data needed to assess the true impact across the landscape.

This false colour satellite image tracks the blaze and reveals the full extent of the burn scars left behind following the 10-day fire.

Our thoughts remain with the local communities affected, the emergency services, and all those dedicated to the long-term habitat recovery efforts.

Spain's largest wildfire of 2026 is burning right now in Guadalajara.

The fire started last Thursday near La Mierla in the Sierra Norte and has burnt through more than 29,000 hectares. The OpenConstellation Hyper-500 satellite captured these images as the fire was advancing.

From orbit, imagery like this lets responders:
– Measure sections of the active fire front
– Map the burn scar – the area already lost
– Read wind direction from the smoke plumes, indicating where the fire may move next
– Monitor changes between passes, so crews can see how fast it is spreading

When a fire is this large, no one on the ground can see all of it. From space, you can.

Thoughts are with the communities affected and the crews fighting to contain it.

On Friday, His Majesty King Charles III officially opened the new UK Space and Defence Gateway at The Quad, located on the Harwell Campus alongside Open Cosmos headquarters.

Our COO, Megias and the team had the privilege of meeting the King and demonstrating how our satellite missions and data platforms provide the actionable insights needed to protect our planet.

The event closely aligned with the principles of the Astra Carta-a framework launched by His Majesty to ensure the global space economy scales sustainably. Using space to solve urgent environmental challenges on Earth is exactly why Open Cosmos exists, and it was an honour to showcase that work on this stage.

A huge thank you to everyone at Harwell Campus and RAL Space for hosting an incredible day.
