A British startup aims to launch science satellites into space<\/a> in 2025 after raising a fresh \u00a32mn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blue<\/span> Skies<\/span> Space<\/span><\/span><\/a> has devised a unique business plan for the stargazers. They will be the first-ever science satellites that provide data directly to researchers via a membership model, the company said.<\/p>\n

The approach offers a new route to the secrets of our universe. Currently, researchers rely on government agencies such as NASA and ESA to access space data. Unfortunately, this supply doesn\u2019t meet the demand.<\/p>\n

The James Webb Telescope, for instance, received 1,600 requests for observing time. Only of them 249 were selected. That equates to an oversubscription of nearly nearly seven to one.<\/p>\n

Blue Skies Space wants to bridge the access gap. The startup will offer customers the choice of either an annual membership or hourly access to the data.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision is not only to deliver great science, but to deliver it to any scientist around the world,\u201d Dr Marcell Tessenyi, CEO and co-founder of Blue<\/span> Skies<\/span> Space<\/span>, told TNW.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first satellites<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The programme\u2019s first satellite<\/span> in the programme is named Mauve. Built to measure the activity of nearby stars, Mauve is slated to launch in early 2025. By probing the satellite\u2019s data, scientists could find evidence that exoplanets harbour life.<\/p>\n

After sending Mauve into the cosmos, Blue Skies Space intends to launch an entire fleet of satellites.<\/p>\n

The new funding brings the plans closer to reality. It include contributions from Japan\u2019s <\/span>SPARX<\/a><\/span> Space<\/span> Frontier Fund and UK see-stage investor SFC Capital<\/a>. Blue Skies Space will use the cash to accelerate the launch timetable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Up next on the schedule is Twinkle<\/a>, which will deliver visible and infrared spectroscopy to analyse the composition of celestial bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur company model is to rapidly respond to the needs of the research community with a fleet of dedicated satellites designed and implemented in short timeframes,\u201d Tessenyi<\/span> said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a model that\u2019s already attracted universities and <\/span>institutions from 11 countries. They include Cardiff University (UK), Vanderbilt University (USA), the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (France), and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.<\/p>\n
