Earth Observation data for your business
The NPOC (National Point of Contact)
The NPOC for satellite images is the national contact point for authorities, companies, researchers and all other users of satellite data in Switzerland.
Earth Observation Swiss Made
Watch Now & Discover the Extensive Involvement of Switzerland in Earth Observation.
Did you know that satellite imagery plays a crucial role in understanding biodiversity, the cryosphere, climate change, and more?
Switzerland’s researchers, industries, and institutions are at the forefront of Earth observation, and help building the satellites and monitor and track environmental changes every day. Swiss-made solutions and applications deepen our understanding and aid in protecting our planet.

She Space Program
6 of our talented girls are participating in the first-ever Swiss chapter of the international She Space program! This incredible initiative, brought to life by Shimrit Maman, PHD from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, aims to introduce 14–16-year-old girls to the world of satellite data and the exploration of our planet.
On June 5, Scilla Zischek conducted a fantastic workshop to help our girls enhance their presentation skills. This preparation will be crucial as they gear up for the final meeting on June 28th, where they will showcase their incredible projects in front of 10 other teams.
Coding Club for girls at EPFL
Claudia Röösli, PhD, visited a coding club for girls workshop in Bern. She took the girls on an exciting journey into the world of satellites, Earth observation, and glaciers, demonstrating the importance of programming in her research A great way to isnpire young girls to work in the space field!
She Space International (SSI) is a unique, international educational program to introduce 14-16 year old girls to the exploration of our own Planet with the use of satellite data. The goal of She Space International is to promote interest in STEM subjects and in particular in remote sensing. The students will be exposed to to cutting-edge academic research and will have the opportunity to work on a specific research project by usingsatellite imagery.
The program is managed by the NPOC for satellite data, which is based at the University of Zurich in the Remote Sensing Laboratories of the Department of Geography and is part of the Swiss TecLadies initiative.
