Today, we’re excited to share that Wyvern is expanding its Dragonette constellation by using Loft’s network of satellites for the collection of large volumes of hyperspectral data. Loft’s space infrastructure includes resources such as video, thermal and wide-swath imagers as well as RF payloads. Each spacecraft also incorporates onboard compute and connectivity resources to use in tandem with the sensing resources to enable real time analysis of data collected for low-latency applications. These high-performance satellite platforms enable rapid and affordable access to novel datasets, like hyperspectral imagery. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gqiqx7mJ
