Hydrosat

🛰 Go, VanZyl-1, go! 🚀 We, at Hydrosat, are incredibly proud to announce the upcoming launch of our first satellite, VanZyl-1, early July on SpaceX’s Transporter 11, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Working to accelerate the delivery of global high-resolution thermal imaging technology and provide a critical daily dataset to further enhance agricultural and climate models, the satellite will include high-resolution thermal imagery and insights spanning the entire earth - including land and water for the first time. 🌍 Named after one of our co-founders, Jakob van Zyl, who sadly passed away in 2020, the satellite follows in Jakob’s footsteps to better understand global water stress, particularly in agriculture, which is often caused by drought and insufficient irrigation.

💧 🌍 Water is our planet's most precious and increasingly scarce resource. With the growing challenges posed by population growth and climate change, sustainable water management has never been more critical. We are excited to share the insightful video from the Energy Tech Summit featuring Pieter Fossel, our CEO and Co-founder. In this video, Pieter explains how Hydrosat is leveraging cutting-edge space technology to address global water challenges. 👇

Hydrosat's own Wim Bastiaanssen continues to travel the world 🌏 to help countries preserve water💧 🇮🇳 We are thrilled to be working closely with India helping farmers, growers, and institutions mitigate the impacts of climate change and grow more food with less water. We're partnering with the Department of Science and Technology (DST) on projects to improve our remote sensing technology and provide useful data through the HIROS and RESTART projects. We're also teaming up with companies like Erde Agro Ecosystems Pvt Ltd and Saisanket Industries Pvt Ltd to improve irrigation using smart technologies. Hydrosat supports both the National and State Governments in improving irrigation systems. Since there aren't enough measurements of water flow in canals, we use remote sensing to understand how efficiently water is used in irrigation. 🌾 All our services are powered by Hydrosat's advanced energy and water balance data, helping India achieve better water management and agricultural productivity.

Join us in welcoming our new interns, Isabela Pichardo Velázquez and Ageeth de Haan, to the Hydrosat team! 🌱 Isabela joins our team as a remote sensing intern. She'll support the development of our irrigation management platform, and validate crop data with field measurements. 🌾 Ageeth joins Hydrosat as a Geo-Information Science Intern. She'll research advances in multi-temporal and high spatial resolution airborne thermal measurements for crop evapotranspiration in Toscana crops. We’re excited to grow with these talented individuals, on our shared journey over the next months! Interested in joining our team? Check out our vacancies: https://lnkd.in/dkzZmq5v

Hydrosat’s Wim Bastiaanssen and Emilio Quintana Molina were specially invited to speak at the 1st Seminar on Sustainable Irrigation and the 2nd Symposium on Water Management of the South Coast Guatemala in Antigua! 🇬🇹 Hydrosat’s cutting-edge solutions were highlighted as essential for optimizing water usage and achieving higher sugar yields with less water. As Guatemala continues to advance its agricultural sector, we look forward to collaborating with local stakeholders to drive sustainable farming practices. Our technologies offer unparalleled support for monitoring and optimizing irrigation, ensuring a more productive and water-efficient future for the region’s agriculture. Here’s to a future of water management and sustainable growth in agriculture! 🌱💧
