Since its launch in 2017, we have proudly delivered SPACE to farms across New Zealand as an innovative way to measure pasture cover using satellite image technology.
As our SPACE satellite nears its last orbit, we want to thank our customers who have used SPACE as part of their pasture management on farm.
