Press Release

These applications and services serve as gateways to a comprehensive understanding of Earth's processes, enabling informed decision-making towards a more sustainable future. Some of these applications and services are now operational.

Paris, France – April 16, 2026 – Atos, a global leader of AI-powered digital transformation, today announces it has been entrusted by the European Space Agency ( ESA) to launch an Open Competition to expand DestinE ecosystem. DestinE is a flagship initiative led by the European Commission and implemented by the ESA, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) to create a highly accurate digital twin of the Earth. DestinE’s ecosystem is designed to assist policymakers, researchers or innovators simulate, monitor and better understand natural phenomena and human activity, offering new ways to engage with and understand our world better to shape a sustainable future.

As a result of this first Open Competition, 12 innovative Service Providers have been selected to deliver Advanced Applications & Services (AAS) on DestinE Platform.

Some of these services are now fully operational, offering unprecedented opportunities for exploration and understanding.

CALIFE (“Quality of Life”), developed by Murmuration, is designed to make satellite Earth Observation insights accessible to everyone, from the general public to local authorities. It provides personalized, easy-to-understand reports on environmental and health conditions at a hyper-local scale.

CALIFE offers:

By raising awareness, supporting local policies, and fostering resilience to climate change, CALIFE creates a virtuous cycle toward healthier, more sustainable communities.

Harvic, developed by GeoVille, is designed to provide stakeholders in the potato industry with a clear and reliable view of crop development throughout the season, as well as accurate predictions for harvest time in terms of quantity and quality. By combining satellite information, weather data, and field observations, HARVIC transforms complex datasets into simple, actionable insights.

This innovative service helps users to:

HARVIC supports better planning for harvest and logistics, complementing traditional field checks and expertise. Built around real operational needs, it integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, enhancing foresight and decision-making confidence.

By saving time, optimizing resources, and promoting more sustainable farming practices, HARVIC not only empowers the potato industry to thrive in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape but also contributes to a deeper, data-driven understanding of agricultural dynamics in a rapidly changing environment.

Hi-Rest LST is designed to deliver precise thermal insights at a resolution of 30 meters. By leveraging advanced machine learning and data fusion techniques, the service combines the coarser Sentinel-3 data (1km spatial resolution) with the high-resolution land surface temperature product from Landsat-8.

Hi-Rest LST offers:

By providing enhanced land surface temperature estimations, Hi-Rest LST supports applications where precision is critical, such as urban resilience planning and infrastructure monitoring.

This service empowers end-users to make informed decisions and drive sustainable solutions for a changing world.

COMEO (“Compression Of Models & Earth Observations”), developed by VisioTerra, is designed to optimize the use of Earth observation and modelling data through lossy compression algorithms. Targeting data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites as well as Earth modelling data like C3S ERA5, COMEO offers an innovative solution for efficiently managing data volumes.

COMEO offers:

By providing effective compression solutions, COMEO enables users to maximize data usage while preserving relevance for critical applications such as environmental monitoring and climate model analysis. This service is essential for those looking to leverage Earth data while optimizing available resources.

The Desert Locust Monitoring Service (DLMS), developed by Sistema, is at the forefront of efforts to mitigate the devastating impacts of desert locusts, which are recognized as the world's most destructive migratory pests. These pests pose significant threats to the economy, quality of life, and the environment, with their impacts exacerbated by climate change.

Key Features of the Desert Locust Monitoring Service:

By leveraging these innovative technologies, the Desert Locust Monitoring Service plays a crucial role in safeguarding agricultural resources and ecosystems, ensuring that stakeholders can respond swiftly and effectively to locust threats. This service is indispensable for those aiming to protect their livelihoods and the environment from the adverse effects of these formidable pests.

A new wave of innovative services will become operational, each designed to address critical challenges across diverse sectors. These will include:

Valérie Dehlinger, director of Aerospace, Automotive, Chemicals, Discrete Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities, Retail, Telecoms, Media & Technology and Transport & Travel Markets in France, Atos, stated: “We are pleased to support ESA’s work in advancing the DestinE ecosystem and digital innovation in Earth observation and to play a crucial role in shaping the future of DestinE, ensuring its attractivity for diverse stakeholders across Europe.”

As part of this visionary project, the Atos consortium, including Atos, Mews Partners and ACRI-ST, was entrusted in 2024 with the execution of four key activities that are pivotal to the success of DestinE:

The DestinE platform is co-funded by the European Union.
