## Editorial
Mapture.ai is a Dutch commercial company building autonomous drone-in-a-box systems and related UAV engineering and software services. The company was founded in 2018 and operates as Mapture B.V. from Kapteynstraat 1 in Noordwijk, Netherlands.[^esa-startup] Its core offering combines autonomous drone docking, control and GNSS-enabled positioning for accurate drone operations.[^operator-home]

The company is relevant to Earth observation and space-enabled services as a downstream satellite-navigation user rather than as a satellite data producer. Use cases include public-safety and infrastructure workflows, with pilots for the Dutch Department of Waterways and Public Works.[^sbic-graduation] Mapture.ai was incubated at ESA BIC Noordwijk from 2019 to 2022 and graduated from the programme in 2022.[^esa-startup][^sbic-graduation]
