ITHACA, N.Y.— Ursa Space Systems is excited to announce the expansion of its partnership with SkyFi to include iron ore stockpile measurements, in addition to global oil inventories launched jointly six months ago. This enhanced offering provides clients in commodity trading, resource management, and government operations with access to even more actionable data. By integrating Ursa Space’s satellite intelligence capabilities with SkyFi’s Earth-based data platform, users can now monitor two major commodities – iron ore and crude oil – from a single access point.
The partnership seeks to supply large-scale monitoring for commodities that are central to production and distribution systems worldwide.
Below is an overview of the two main products offered:
SkyFi’s approach focuses on making Earth intelligence accessible in a straightforward manner. Rather than requiring specialized tools or a background in geospatial systems, users can visit the SkyFi platform, select the commodities they want to follow, and then receive periodic data packages. The aim is to allow organizations to combine these data feeds with their own processes. This can include risk models, supply chain databases, or internal tracking dashboards used by executives and analysts.
Ursa Space develops software that facilitates the integration of satellite and geospatial data into customer workflows. By leveraging the world’s most comprehensive virtual constellation of multiple commercial data sources, Ursa Space delivers rapid, meaningful insights at scale.
Market participants are expected to benefit from broader resource tracking, as oil and iron ore play pivotal roles in shaping global economic trends. Signals related to industrial activity are closely tied to commodity demand, providing valuable insights. Commodity traders can leverage this data to assess regional supply-demand balances, enabling strategic trading decisions and the ability to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities. Alternative inventory data sources are often non-existent, outdated, or lack reliability in terms of accuracy
