SatVu captures the highest resolution thermal data from space for a safer and more sustainable Earth.
The images and short video captured by our satellites show heat variations across the surface of the Earth at a resolution of up to 3.5 m, both during the day and at night.
Thermal data at this unparalleled resolution has wide applications, from economic monitoring and national security to climate resilience including urban heat monitoring.
The company’s first satellite HotSat-1 launched in June 2023. Two more satellites (HotSat-2 and HotSat-3) will be launched in 2025.
Weve delivered a step change in EO sensor and processing technology, and our constellation will achieve global coverage with 10-20 revisits per day.
Features:
Monitor activity at night: Unlike high-resolution optical, SatVu’s data can see at night. It can also see through smoke. High resolution thermal imagery represents a vital night-time optical substitute.
A globally scalable solution: Unlike thermal data captured from aeroplanes or drones, SatVu can capture data from any point on the earth’s surface, including inaccessible or restricted areas, and it can do this in a uniform way.
Video capability: SatVu is the only company capable of providing thermal data in the form of both still image and video up to 60 seconds long - allowing you to track movement across the built and natural environment.
Our values:
Challenge constructively: We leverage the diversity of the team, its thinking and the amazing skillsets of our people as we navigate new territory.
Be open: We ensure everyone has the most up to date information to build trust and positive relationships that will help us overcome the challenges we face.
Focus fast: We always find a way because accepting and responding to dramatic change effectively is key to our success.
Astonish the world: We believe we can show the world what we do in ways that inspire change.

Our team believes in a future where autonomous robotics are used in meaningful, accountable applications.
Commercial UAVs have the technical capabilities to help save lives and share important stories- but they
have continued to be held back by fundamental problems in safety, regulation, and flight time. By solving these
fundamental issues, our team is able to offer the next generation of accountable and autonomous aerial robotics
that are ready for real-world use today.
Fotokite technology uses a tether combined with an onboard IMU to compute the vehicles position relative to the user. This allows for quick deployment and controlled flight by virtually anyone and obviates the need for complex start-up protocols, GPS dependency, trained pilots, and bulky remote controls.
The core algorithms were developed and refined over the course of years of research and experimentation at the world renowned Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control at ETH Zurich. With this foundation in place, the team is now working on expanding control capabilities with a keen eye on delivering intuitive user interaction, enabling expanded capabilities to teams in Firefighting and Public Safety applications.
