Deimos Imaging (Spain), a subsidiary of UrtheCast Corp. (Canada), owns and operates two commercial Earth Observation missions, DEIMOS-1 and DEIMOS-2 and works autonomously on the end-to-end image chain from planning to delivery to customers. Deimos Imaging Operations Team works on a 24/7 basis, being in charge of the satellites control. One of the most important activities in which the Operations Team is involved is the 24/7 Rush Service. This service has been implemented over the years and offers a quick and efficient response to urgent requests, such as forest fires, flooding, earthquakes or any other event which needs a near real time imagery delivery. The available Ground Stations network allows a versatile operations capacity with a minimum guaranteed contact each 90 minutes. A great variety of Rush orders are managed, including from archive, new programming, and even pinpointing, 24 hours a day and from different customers with different procedures. Moreover, worldwide collaboration is fundamental to provide a 24/7 Rush Service which makes the difference, therefore, DEIMOS-1 is member of the Disaster Monitoring Constellation and Deimos Imaging is one of the founding member of the PanGeo Alliance, the first global alliance of Earth Observation sensors operators.

Deimos Imaging (Spain), a subsidiary of UrtheCast Corp. (Canada), is a private Spanish company specialized in the operation and commercial exploitation of Earth Observation systems. Currently, Deimos Imaging owns and operates the DEIMOS-1 and DEIMOS-2 satellites. DEIMOS-1 is the first Spanish Earth Observation satellite, providing 22 m resolution, 3 band imagery (Red, Green and Near Infrared) with a very wide (650 km) swath from its 650 km of altitude. The Operations Team is in charge of the satellite's control and mission planning activities, being also responsible for assessment duties related to Flight and Ground Segment. Two Ground Stations (one polar located at Svalbard, Norway, and one local in Boecillo, Spain) allows at least one contact every orbit. Throughout its almost 9 years of mission, DEIMOS-1 operations have experienced a great evolution to reach the current state of stability and automation. This evolution has been reflected in both Ground Segment and Flight Segment. Ad-hoc software tools, improvements and procedures have been developed and applied in order to satisfy operations needs and increase the efficiency of the mission.
