The Domino architecture is a groundbreaking approach in Earth observation, focused on standardizing ground segments for satellite missions. By introducing modular, autonomous components called “Dominos,” it simplifies system integration, reduces development time, and lowers costs. This innovative framework allows different companies, including SMEs, to specialize in creating specific, standardized modules that seamlessly fit together. Similar to how the USB standard transformed IT, Domino enables greater collaboration across the space industry, fostering efficiency and innovation in Earth observation projects.
