Our success didn’t occur in a vacuum, and we know what it is to give back to the community – to the planet – that helps us succeed. Our social responsibilities guide every action we take, and every plan for the future we have, in order to build one we’re proud to leave for our children.
War in Ukraine
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Max Polyakov has taken an active position in support of Ukraine. He helped form a coalition of commercial space companies to collect and analyze satellite images and data, with the results handed over to the Ukrainian military.
He has directed his own funds to projects to support the army and funds to support victims of the war, and his NGO, Association Noosphere, has begun new socially-important projects helping internally displaced persons.
Environment & Climate Change
We believe that healing the planet is our top priority. This means investing heavily in and promoting space technologies that can help optimize everything from agriculture to municipal land use. By making the SDGs a core component of our mission, we show our commitment to ensuring that our blue-green orb remains that way for years to come.
Saving The Planet
We recognize that it’s going to take a lot of work to fix the plant, which is why we acknowledge the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals in order to realize “a better and more sustainable future for all.” Our work is aimed at supporting SDG initiatives, and equipping our communities with the tools they need to make those goals a reality.
The Goals
Each of our portfolio companies are dedicated to supporting and promoting the realization of the following goals.
Food Security
Health Care & Well-being
Preventing Disasters
Monitoring Natural Resources
Reducing Poverty & Social Injustice

Our Work
We know that words are cheap, so we’ve invested in leveraging our businesses, technologies, and partnerships
to stimulate actions that will help build a sustainable future.
“Supporting Transparent Land Governance in Ukraine”, World Bank
World Bank’s “Supporting Transparent Land Governance in Ukraine” programme assists the Government of Ukraine in introducing the transparent land market to enhance the efficiency of land use and provide a basis for investment in the rural sector.
As a part of the World Bank’s “Supporting Transparent Land Governance in Ukraine” program, EOSDA, with its own satellite agriculture service EOS Crop Monitoring, categorized croplands. In this regard, EOS Crop Monitoring has launched an interactive satellite map showing the real state of the national agribank. The data allows to reevaluate the actual size of the fields which is why multiple regions have revealed to contain more farmland than the national registry. The map allows to evaluate the field sizes effectively and find unregistered fields, anomalies in crop rotation and analyze the culture map by the regions.
Goldeneye, European Commission
Thanks to its primary mission to make space technologies work for the benefit of Earth and to improve the quality of life for mankind, EOSDA became a part of European Commission project Goldeneye. With a total budget of €10 million, Goldeneye will run real time monitoring of 5 mines in Europe (Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Kosovo and Romania) to improve safety, environmental impact, and mine profitability by creating a platform that combines Earth observation technologies with on-site sensing.
The project will combine remote sensing and positioning technologies to take advantage of Earth observation and Earth GNSS data together with data fusion and processing powered by data analytics and machine learning algorithms. Under the terms of the Goldeneye program, EOS Data Analytics will provide satellite data processing.
Education & Culture
Future engineering stars are among us!
Every society has the main purpose of rearing a worthy generation that will not only have the desire to bring innovations to light but also have the drive to do so. Our main goal is to nurture an interest in innovation and technology from a young age and to allow the youth to visualize themselves in the field of engineering.
We support STEM and space technologies
NGO “Association Noosphere” has been developing an engineering and creativity ecosystem in Ukraine for the past seven years. The Noosphere ecosystem allows children and young people to explore STEM education through competitions and master classes in robotics and rocket modelling, in the Noosphere Engineering School labs and at engineering and space hackathons. We want everyone to have the opportunity to become an engineer, scientist, or specialist in the aerospace industry, and to have a chance to design and launch future spacecraft.
Forward to new space discoveries!
Planetarium Noosphere is a joint socio-educational project from the “Aerospace Museum Center for Culture and Education of Youth” and “Association Noosphere”, public organizations in Dnipro.
The Noosphere Planetarium opened in late 2020 after a complete “relaunch”. Now, this is a new space for the city, a center of scientific and research creativity with changing exhibitions and a classroom. The Planetarium’s Star Hall is equipped with a projection system with 6 LED projectors, which can show videos in 4K-8K format - on par with the best planetariums in Europe. In addition, Planetarium Noosphere has sound systems and special seating. This is the only planetarium in Ukraine with equipment of this level.
Nurturing cosmic creativity
NGO “Association Noosphere” in cooperation with the Ukraine Spacemodelling Sport Federation (FRMSU), supports the development of rocket modelling in Ukraine by holding innovative competitions. Among them are the Ukraine Rocketry Challenge, the championships of Ukraine and the Yangel Cup world cup stages in model rocket sports. In 2015 and 2016, Ukraine hosted the European Championship and the World Model Rocket Sports Championship, jointly organized by Noosphere and FRMSU. In 2022, NGO “Association Noosphere” and FRMSU worked together to co-organize of the first virtual rocket modelling competition in Ukraine, the Noosphere Space Games, to give children the opportunity to learn new things and support them during the war.
We work with Noosphere Engineering School to embody technological ideas
Noosphere Engineering School is a network of scientific and technical laboratories located within higher education institutions in Ukraine. Noosphere Engineering School creates favourable conditions for creative engineering so that Ukrainian students and young scientists can develop their innovative ideas, gain technological and marketing support, make innovative product prototypes, and launch technological startups. In the laboratories of the Noosphere Engineering School, every budding engineer, scientist, and startup entrepreneur will find a place to develop their talents.
