Wyvern is partnering with India’s Dhruva Space and will integrate the company’s hyperspectral offerings into Dhruva’s on-demand hyperspectral data platform AstraView.
Dhruva Space said the integration will include their “distribution channels and ground station network” as well offering the data in their Virtual Constellation where their customers have “access to more than 200 satellites.”
The AstraView platform, which was launched today, also includes partnerships with Array Labs, Axelspace, Capella Space, Geosat, Maxar, Planet, Satellogic, SI Imaging Services and Unseenlabs.
Dhruva Space said that “through AstraView, Dhruva Space provides an ecosystem-based approach to satellite imagery, enabling flexible, near real-time tasking. Additionally, AstraView allows customers to search and order archived imagery or request for fresh collection of satellite data, ensuring they have access to both historical and real-time geospatial information.”
Data from the Wyvern hyperspectral satellite constellation, which at the moment consists of three Dragonette satellites, will be used by Dhruva Space to “offer tailored solutions, enabling novel use-case development for the Indian market, such as monitoring harvest yields, effects of crop burning” and other strategic use cases.
Wyvern said the Dragonette satellite constellation “offers a leading-edge solution with a ground sampling distance of 5.3 metres. This technology enhances operational capabilities in areas such as vegetation and crop health monitoring, material identification, biodiversity mapping, and many more. Wyvern’s Dragonette satellites feature 23-32 spectral bands across the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectrum.”
“This partnership with Wyvern is an exciting addition to Dhruva Space’s expanding ecosystem,” comments Sanjay Nekkanti, Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder, Dhruva Space. “This synergy not only enhances Dhruva Space’s service offerings but also underscores our commitment to leveraging Space technology to develop comprehensive strategies for managing environmental impact, and to encourage data-driven decision-making in India.”
Thomas VanMatre, Chief Revenue Officer, Wyvern added, “Wyvern is excited for this partnership with Dhruva Space as it represents a key step in bringing our hyperspectral imagery to the Indian market. The need for high-quality hyperspectral imagery is paramount to support sustainability efforts, and Wyvern data is perfectly suited to support agriculture, forestry, mining, and natural resource management industries in India.”
