Logica wins European Space Agency Business

One sub-sector of the Green IT market which is not talked about much, presumably because it's so specialised, is around the inevitable climate change, e.g. monitoring weather patterns through satellites. This is an area that Logica has some expertise in and the company has won a contract to supply the ground security for the European Space Agency's Earth observation programme, which includes the Global Monitoring for the Environment missions.

Logica will provide the security around the Payload Data Ground Segment, which acquires, processes, archives and disseminates the Earth observation programme data.
