Orbital Sidekick announced today the upcoming launch of Aurora, its newest and most powerful hyperspectral imaging satellite.
Dan Katz, CEO & co-founder of Orbital Sidekick, said: “We’re excited to be launching Aurora to help provide consistent monitoring services across all of our clients as well as further the exploration for clean energy sources globally.
“Working with Astro Digital, OSK will be able to focus on the payload and extract information from our unique and proprietary hyperspectral data with the utmost precision.”
With a broad focus on sustainability, Aurora leverages OSK’s previous experience “collecting and analysing hyperspectral data to provide action-oriented insights on the world around us”.
The Aurora satellite will serve OSK’s customers in the energy, mining, and defence sectors.
Aurora will capture more than 450 spectral bands in the visible to shortwave infrared light spectrum (400 to 2,500 nm) with a pixel size of approximately 30 metres, making it the highest resolution commercial hyperspectral imagery available to date.
