VITO Remote Sensing
Cyrex partnered with VITO Remote Sensing to design and develop the Terrascope Marketplace, a scalable platform enabling Earth Observation experts to publish, monetize, and share satellite data services with a global audience.
The Challenge
Transforming Satellite Processing Services into a Public Marketplace
VITO Remote Sensing provides a satellite data processing platform used by Earth Observation experts across multiple industries. While their services delivered strong technical value, they lacked a scalable way to increase visibility and distribute those services to a broader audience.
VITO required:
- An online marketplace for publishing satellite data services
- Monetization capabilities
- Standardized service interfaces
- Billing and reporting functionality
- A scalable backend architecture
The objective was to shift from a closed processing platform to a publicly accessible marketplace that simplified service publishing while maintaining technical rigor.
The Cyrex Solution
Development of the Terrascope Remote Sensing Marketplace
Cyrex designed and developed the Terrascope Marketplace using its proprietary API Suite product framework, combined with open-source contributions.
The platform was architected to:
- Centralize service publishing
- Standardize web-based service interfaces
- Enable monetization workflows
- Provide billing and reporting capabilities
- Abstract away infrastructure complexity for service creators
This allowed Earth Observation experts to focus on algorithm and workflow development without managing underlying IT deployment processes.
API-Driven Architecture & Service Publishing
The marketplace was built on an API-first foundation, ensuring:
- Scalable integration of satellite processing services
- Secure and structured service exposure
- Interoperability via standardized web interfaces
- Simplified user access to algorithms and workflows
Each published service includes a visual description layer to clearly communicate capabilities and use cases.
The Outcome
A Scalable Marketplace for Earth Observation Services
- A fully operational Remote Sensing Marketplace
- Integrated monetization, billing, and reporting features
- Simplified publication process for algorithms and workflows
- Increased visibility for Earth Observation services
- A scalable platform supporting future expansion
Client Feedback
VITO Remote Sensing
“At VITO Remote Sensing, we love earth observation! By providing a processing platform for satellite data, we allow our community of Earth Observation experts to develop many interesting services that contribute across multiple industries on both a local and global scale. Although these services provide a lot of added value, we were lacking an easy way to increase their visibility. By combining Cyrex’s expert knowledge of marketplaces and our expertise in earth observation, we have created a beautiful online marketplace where we can start advertising our services to the general public. During this project, Cyrex assisted us in tackling some of our biggest challenges, which resulted in extending our online service offering with features such as billing and reporting.”
