Benjamin Busam Leads Design of Bavarian Earth Observation Satellite Network “CuBy”
Bavarian Earth Observation Satellite Network Ready for Launch
MCML PI Benjamin Busam is leading the scientific design of the Bavarian Earth observation satellite network “CuBy”, which is scheduled for launch in June 2026.
The system consists of five small satellites that will jointly acquire high-resolution, multi-spectral data covering the entire state of Bavaria. The project is implemented entirely in Bavaria, from data acquisition in space to ground-based processing and public data provision.
The satellite data will support applications in agriculture, environmental monitoring, flood prediction, and civil protection. Combined with AI-based data analysis and management systems, “CuBy” strengthens Bavaria’s position as a key location for Earth observation and data-driven decision-making.
