- Astronomy data as a service is being pioneered by UK startup Blue Skies Space, which plans to launch its first satellite, Mauve, in October 2025.
- The Mauve satellite will focus on stellar spectroscopy to enhance existing astronomical data sources like the Hubble Telescope, aiding research on star composition and properties.
- Blue Skies Space aims to differentiate itself by gathering data from space rather than ground-based telescopes and will offer this data through a subscription model.
- The company has engaged with the scientific community, including researchers from Boston University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, to refine its data collection approach.
- Founded in 2014, Blue Skies Space has raised approximately $6.5 million and is developing a second satellite, Twinkle, to study exoplanet atmospheres.
