IAC, Paris September 2022: KSAT announces it has joined forces with cutting-edge earth imaging technology company, Pixxel, to support its work building the world’s highest resolution hyperspectral imaging satellite constellation by providing access to the global KSAT ground network. Pixxel’s planned constellation of hyperspectral satellites will reveal key data about the health of our planet.
Ground-breaking technology
Pixxel’s satellites can capture images at hundreds of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. The company’s constellation will provide a global scale perspective of planetary-scale ecosystems and biospheres that will be used to create an AI-informed analysis platform and a digital twin of the earth.
“KSAT is excited to develop and grow with Pixxel to enable a scalable ground network solution. Pixxel is such an interesting company with ground-breaking technology and a vibrant young group of innovators.”, KSAT CCO Marte Indregard said.
