Earth data for people

Satellite data and GIS
within everyone’s reach.

We want more people to specify, order and receive the satellite data they need—and run their own analyses or build tools when they choose, without becoming a GIS specialist or software developer.

Milky Current / Our mark

The problem we’re here to solve

You know the location.
You need the data.

You may know exactly which area, dates, resolution or sensor you need. Finding an appropriate source, comparing archive and future capture options, understanding a quote and receiving usable data can still require specialist help.

Milkypad brings satellite data acquisition, AI-assisted analysis and app creation into one workflow. Ordering and receiving suitable data is a complete service in its own right. You can use it in your existing workflow, or ask Milkypad to help analyze it and create a tool. Availability depends on the location, specification and source.

Our name comes from the Milky Way galaxy. It reflects the ambition behind Milkypad: making the view from space useful to more people in their everyday work.

What guides the product

More people able
to do their own GIS work.

01

Make data acquisition accessible.

Specify a location anywhere on Earth, the dates and the spatial or spectral detail you need. The acquisition workflow makes suitable options, ordering and delivery easier to understand, so you can define what you need without navigating the sourcing process alone.

02

Build around the way you work.

A consultant needs a client deliverable. A land manager needs an inspection list. Your data, questions, and decisions should shape the analysis and the tools you use.

03

Make the next task easier.

Keep a useful analysis, adapt it for another site, or turn it into an app colleagues can use. Reusable work should reduce repeated setup and make specialist knowledge easier to share.

Your GIS work

Building around
real customer tasks.

Explore the workflow through interactive examples, then tell us about your own task. The website examples use prepared data; data orders, live analyses and app deployment require separate access and agreed terms.

We want to hear from people who source satellite data, prepare reports, manage sites, analyze data or need a custom GIS tool. Start with the result you need and the obstacles you face today. We will review your request and discuss suitable next steps.
