Our story
Celebrating 20 Years of Space Innovation
Skytek’s journey began in Ireland, where we initially provided instruction manuals for astronauts. Over time, our expertise evolved into the creation of the International Procedural Viewer system, a critical tool used by all astronauts aboard the International Space Station and soon to be implemented on the lunar Gateway.
However, our ambitions extended beyond space. Returning to Earth, we infused the insurance industry with innovation through the integration of real-time satellite imagery and sophisticated data analytics. Today, we’re at the forefront of merging these two domains, pioneering the utilisation of space data and analytics to transform risk assessment, underwriting, and claims handling. Whether in property or cybersecurity, our solutions span diverse sectors, all united by a singular goal: to foster predictability, resilience, and security in the future.
Two decades represent more than just a milestone; they serve as a launching point for our continued journey. We are proud to have earned recognition from both ESA and NASA for our outstanding innovation, a testament to our unwavering dedication to excellence. With offices spanning Europe, the USA, and Bermuda, our global presence underscores our commitment to effecting change on an international scale. As we commemorate twenty years of success, we eagerly anticipate the next chapter, brimming with fresh partnerships, groundbreaking discoveries, and an enduring commitment to shaping a brighter future—both on Earth and beyond the stars.

Skytek has decades of experience and a proven track record of developing software for the International Space Station. We look forward to working with Skytek as we send astronauts back to the Moon and beyond. The ground components of the software will also help to make ISS operations even more efficient.

The Skytek system is important to the Columbus module for three fundamental reasons. It ensures the safety of our astronauts, enhances the efficiency in which they carry out procedures and its use of XML technology will represent a cost-saving for ground personnel by making procedure changes easier to implement.
