m4mining aims to improve material characterization during extraction, re-mining, and environmental impact monitoring. The consortium works together to map and monitor active and inactive mining sites using UAV and satellite sensors. We work to achieve real-time mineral classification via UAV, allowing seamless 3D visualization for decision-makers on the ground. The infrastructure (hardware and software) will be developed through direct conversations with stakeholders on a mineral advisory board.
Proud to be a partner of such a great consortium! 🙌

M4ming is a European Union Horizon Europe collaborative project that aims to improve material characterization during extraction, re-mining, and environmental impact…

Congratulations ✌️

🚩Today, the technical kickoff meeting of the Sat4GAIA - Axis 3 Greek Microsatellite Program took place in the premises of the Ministry of Digital Governance, with Geosystems Hellas leading the effort as prime contractor.

🛰️The project is funded by the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) Greece 2.0 under the management of ESA - European Space Agency and in close collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Governance of the Hellenic Space Center (HSC). The objective of the project is the creation of a Land Monitoring Service including Land Use/Land Cover Mapping, Deformation Monitoring and Urban Analytics Services, which will subsequently be integrated in the Governmental Hub.

🤝Also in attendance were representantives from Beyond EO Centre NOA and Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) Ίδρυμα Τεχνολογίας και Έρευνας
, which serve as Co-Prime, as well as Laboratory of Photogrammetry SRSGE NTUA, WINGS ICT Solutions, Consortis , Πανεπιστήμιο Πατρών University of Patras (UoP), and MPlegal Firm , which constitute the consortium as subcontractors.

👥During the meeting, the next steps of the project were agreed upon, based on a series of negotiation points.



Σήμερα σηματοδοτήθηκε η έναρξη του έργου Sat4GAIA- Άξονας 3 Ελληνικό Πρόγραμμα Μικροδορυφόρων στις εγκαταστάσεις του Υπουργείου Ψηφιακής Διακυβέρνησης, με την Geosystems Hellas να ηγείται της προσπάθειας ως κύριος ανάδοχος.

Το έργο χρηματοδοτείται από το Ταμείο Ανάκαμψης και Ανθεκτικότητας (RRF) Ελλάδα 2.0 υπό τη διαχείριση του ESA - Ευρωπαϊκού Οργανισμού Διαστήματος και σε στενή συνεργασία με το Υπουργείο Ψηφιακής Διακυβέρνησης και το Ελληνικό Κέντρο Διαστήματος (HSC). Ο στόχος του έργου είναι η δημιουργία μίας Υπηρεσίας Παρακολούθησης Γης, που περιλαμβάνει Χαρτογράφηση Χρήσεων/Κάλυψης Γης, Παρακολούθηση Παραμορφώσεων και Παρακολούθηση Αστικών Δεικτών, που θα περιλαμβάνεται στο Governmental Hub.

Στη συνάντηση συμμετείχαν επίσης εκπρόσωποι από τις εταιρείες Beyond και FORTH, οι οποίες λειτουργούν ως Συμπράττουσες, καθώς και από το Εργαστήριο Φωτογραμμετρίας του ΕΜΠ, την WINGS, την Consortis, το Πανεπιστήμιο Πατρών (UoP) και την MPLegal, οι οποίες συμμετεχουν στο εργο ως υπεργολάβοι.

Κατά τη διάρκεια της συνάντησης συμφωνήθηκαν τα επόμενα βήματα του έργου, βάσει μιας σειράς διαπραγματευτικών σημείων.
