The Fireflies represent a significant leap forward in Earth Observation, offering unmatched precision with their native 5-meter resolution, more than 150 spectral bands, and a 40-kilometre wide swath that enables the constellation to access any part of the globe on a daily basis.
The Fireflies constellation will deliver critical data across various applications, from early detection of crop diseases and pinpointing water stress to real-time deforestation monitoring and tracking ocean pollution. With its unparalleled imaging capabilities, Fireflies is positioned to become an invaluable tool in the fight against climate change, enhancing food security and supporting sustainable resource management.
“This constellation marks a major milestone in Pixxel’s mission to make detailed and actionable insights about the planet accessible to all,” said Awais Ahmed, CEO and Founder of Pixxel. “Fireflies is built to capture the world in ways we’ve never seen before, giving us the clarity and detail needed to make impactful decisions for a better future.”
As Pixxel prepares for the Fireflies launch, it is committed to harnessing space technology to shape a more sustainable future. With plans to expand the constellation to 24 satellites, Pixxel aims to make hyperspectral data widely accessible, driving impactful, data-informed decisions for the planet.
