Space mission design and consulting services
Conduct space mission architecture studies
SARsat Arabia provides rapid turnaround prephase A and phase A concept definition studies to aid in the decision-making process for new launch vehicle programs. Our team uses a
proven set of tools to provide customers with
many different levels of architecture.
Preliminary Analysis; proof of concept
At SARSAT Arabia, we create a preliminary design
and project plan as a proof of concept specifying
what to build, when to launch, the course the
spacecraft is to take, what is to be done during
cruise, when the spacecraft will reach the target,
and what operations will be carried out.
Mission Concept Review
SARsat Arabia helps its customers by validating that the mission has clearly established needs, objectives, and top-level functional/performance
requirements, and that at least one way of
conducting the proposed mission is realistic and
attainable within existing or projected technology
and ROM cost.
Orbit Design and optimization
Our team at SARsat Arabia seeks to help our clients to design the orbit that should be used to
accomplish the space mission, monitor flight paths, and improve performance to obtain the best expected output.
System Engineering
At SARsat Arabia, we carry out design, development and verification processes that ensure that the space system can be considered as an integrated system capable of achieving the goals of the space mission in accordance with acceptable programming and technical frameworks, where in this process many
technologies and sciences are integrated.

Data types
True Color Image
A true colour image is a combination of red, green, and blue bands. The results have been pansharpened where possible.
False Color Urban
A false colour urban composite image is a combination of short wave infrared 1 (SWIR1), short wave infrared 2 (SWIR2), and red bands. It is often used to track urban sprawl and identify areas at risk of flooding.
MSAVI2
Second Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI2) developed by Qi et al. (1994) is a radiometric index using the near-infrared and red bands. MSAVI2 images are often used to look at vegetation cover, biomass and to determine leaf area index. They can also be used as an input layer for mapping land cover or vegetation classes

data analysis
At SARsat Arabia, we are exploiting the recent great developments in Machine Learning Algorithms, which are effective tools for analyzing satellite images and obtaining better and more relevant information. These algorithms can be used to build models and obtain information from available data. Also, with the help of these algorithms, we can link satellite images with available data from other resources in complex processes to obtain the final human interpretation more quickly and easily. These algorithms are able to scan huge amounts of satellite images data to build models capable of extracting properties, monitoring changes and predicting upcoming events with the help of Artificial Intelligence.
Case Study
Detecting Oil Spills
from Space
Oil spills happen all the time anywhere. Many ships deliberately dump toxic waste in our seas and oceans to bypass costly pollution prevention equipment or avoid paying for treatment at a port facility. For sure, these spills have negative impact on the environment and livability in seas.
90% of international trade relies on global shipping, and regulations ensure that shipping practices are sound environmental. However, most of the oil dumping happens in the open waters, where no one can observe, and if detected afterward, the responsible ship is already got away with it. The Red Sea is subject to this threat, with more than 10% of the global shipping trade going through it.
To be able to detect oil spills via satellite imagery and identifies who are the likely polluters. Then provide a dashboard alert to the environmental law enforcement and help them act quickly.
Acquire SAR satellite imagery every 14 days or less and analyze it to detect oil spills using trained ML model over 1,000 satellite images that contain oil spills. Then, fuse the detected oil spill imagery with other data sets: Automatic Identification System (AIS), a signal every ship should transmit continuously to unique identification, position, course, and speed to avoid collision with other vessels. By correlating the two data sets (SAR+AIS) we can highly estimate the responsible polluter and provide the information to the environmental law enforcement.
The environmental impact is significantly rewarding. The provided information to environmental law enforcement can be used to prosecute vessel polluters. The oil dumping will be reduced and will keep toxics away from our waters. Also, in case of a major oil spill, real-time and continuous data can assist the work on the recovery process of the disaster area.
