Satellite mission operations and Earth observation data systems for Europe
Planetek Hellas operates Greece's primary satellite command-and-control facility while building geospatial intelligence and ground systems software. The tech stack—ERDAS, QGIS, ArcGIS paired with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch)—reflects dual focus on traditional remote-sensing workflows and emerging AI-driven data exploitation. Current hiring is exclusively senior engineering and security roles in Greece, and active projects center on mission-control procedures, ISO 9001/27001 compliance, and CIS accreditation—suggesting infrastructure hardening for defense/critical-infrastructure classification.
Planetek Hellas is a Greek space technology company founded in 2006 and now part of the D-Orbit Group. The company operates a Satellite Command and Control Centre (C2) in Kifisia, Athens, which serves as a national hub for satellite mission operations supporting civilian and defense applications across Europe. The core business spans Earth observation data exploitation, geospatial intelligence, GIS development, and ground-segment software for in-orbit satellites. The company participates in major ESA and European Commission programs and positions itself as a strategic pillar of Greece's space infrastructure and operational autonomy efforts.
