On July 8, 2026, Vegacosmos and Synspective will co-host a technical webinar — Making the Unknown Known — focused on maritime domain awareness, illegal fishing detection, and dark vessel identification at sea. Bringing together Synspective’s SAR satellite expertise and Vegacosmos’s maritime monitoring capabilities through the VegaMDA platform, this webinar offers direct insight into how satellite data is addressing some of the most critical challenges in modern maritime surveillance.

About the Webinar
Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing fleets are growing increasingly sophisticated — frequently disabling their AIS transponders to evade detection and operate as so-called “dark vessels.” Addressing this challenge requires satellite-based monitoring tools that function independently of vessel cooperation. This webinar explores how VegaMDA platform – integrating SAR satellite data, supports real-world maritime domain awareness.
Topics covered include:
- Applying satellite technology in ocean surveillance
- Detecting IUU fishing activities from space
- Identifying and tracking dark vessels at sea
- Applications of the VegaMDA platform in the maritime sector
