Remote sensing startup Hydrosat has launched its first payload designed to monitor hot-spots on Earth, marking a significant advancement in precision temperature measurement.
Remote sensing startup Hydrosat has launched a payload to monitor Earth’s hot-spots, using satellite data to measure land temperatures for security applications.
This technology has notable implications for military and national security applications, enhancing the ability to track and analyze critical environmental changes., equipped with a thermal infrared camera, was launched aboard Loft Orbital’s YAM-7 spacecraft by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 from Vandenberg SFB, California, as part of the Transporter-11 rideshare mission.
According to Hydrosat’s co-founder Royce Dalby, the company measures plant temperatures to assess their health and provide farmers with information to boost their yields. Additionally, Hydrosat’s precise land surface temperature measurements—using data from various Earth monitoring satellites and advanced software for data fusion—also have potential military and national security applications.
Before launching anything into orbit, the company secured several Small Business Innovation Research grants from the US Air Force to explore using its hot-spot monitoring data for predicting hazardous “brown outs” caused by dusty soil that could threaten helicopter landings.
