Marble Imaging Raises Additional €6Mn to Build Germany’s Commercial Satellite Network

Founded in August 2023 in Bremen, Germany, Marble Imaging works in the Earth observation (EO) sector. The company is building a network of very-high-resolution (VHR) satellites to capture detailed images of Earth.

Marble Imaging aims to provide Earth observation data as often as every hour. Its satellite network and data analytics will help customers access timely information about changes on the planet and make decisions when time is critical.

"To make better decisions, data access must be immediate and actionable," says Robert Hook, co-founder and CEO of Marble Imaging. "Europe and many of its global partners lack this capability today. We at Marble are determined to close this gap, and Cherry's trust helps us achieve this faster."

Marble Imaging is developing Germany's first commercial network of very-high-resolution (VHR) satellites. These satellites will capture highly detailed images of Earth, which are important for security and business intelligence. Currently, Europe and its partners rely heavily on satellite data from providers outside the region. This can create problems if access to important areas is restricted, as seen during the war in Ukraine and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.

Marble Imaging's satellite data and analysis services will help organisations make faster decisions during important situations. The information can support defence, climate security, crisis response and disaster management. It can also help with renewable energy projects, infrastructure development and transport planning.

The company already provides several services that turn satellite images into useful information. These include detecting objects for security monitoring, studying land and terrain, and assessing whether areas can be accessed by vehicles.

Marble Imaging also offers services to monitor coastal infrastructure and track changes in land use. Its technology can help organisations understand what is happening in different locations and respond more effectively to changing conditions.
