EarthDaily wins $1.7 million contract with Malaysia’s MySpacial

EarthDaily Analytics, a Vancouver-based space tech company, announced a $1.7 million contract with Malaysia’s MySpatial, which specializes in geospatial mapping — a visualisation technique to create customized maps.

The four-year deal will allow MySpatial to use EarthDaily’s observation and change-detection system once it launches in 2025. Named EarthDaily Constellation, the product provides access to analytics-ready data and images that cover the world’s land masses and maritime areas — captured from the same angle and at the same time of day. Doing so helps to show differences in the landscape over time.

This will help MySpacial and its clients make better informed decisions and improve outcomes for various needs, like urban planning and emergency responses. MySpacial's customers operate in a range of industries, including agriculture, environmental monitoring and protection, natural resources and forestry, coastal monitoring, defense, intelligence, and more. Currently, the company uses drones for its geospatial mapping.

“EarthDaily’s offering is bringing value-added, high-quality data and AI-enabled analytics to our customers across verticals, while simultaneously cementing MySpatial’s position at the cutting edge of Earth observation and geospatial mapping in the fast-growing Malaysian market,” said Basrihuddin Hasan, CEO of MySpatial. 

In 2022, EarthDaily launched a service that automates the process of generating high-quality, analysis-ready images from multiple sources. The project, called EarthMosaics, is part of an initiative by B.C.’s Digital Technology Supercluster (now named Digital) — a federal program that aims to position the country as a global leader in innovation.

The company is now focused on its mission to create “the world’s most advanced change-detection system.” Its approach involves flying a series of satellites that rotate with the Earth and take images of its entire surface daily. 

Currently, EarthDaily offers various products to monitor, track, and predict risks involving climate change, natural disasters, and urbanization. The company also says it helps governments, businesses, and organizations make choices around policies, resources, land use, infrastructure, and disaster management.
