Operate When Others Can’t. See What Others Miss.
Our constellations expand what’s possible with market-leading thermal insights. Hydrosat’s systems have flight-heritage and are engineered to meet standards for civil and national security missions.
Cutting-edge Space Technology
Combined with 30+ years of field testing
Hydrosat deploys advanced thermal infrared satellite technology to deliver high-resolution, analysis-ready imagery for global resilience leaders in agriculture, water management, and national security.
Our vertically integrated approach enables tighter control over performance, quality, and innovation at every stage of the system. From sensor engineering to calibration to API delivery through our platform, we provide reliable end-to-end thermal insights.
Osiris Constellation
Prepare for the future
Our next-generation constellation, Osiris, captures global imagery across the visible, near-infrared, and long-wave infrared spectra at exceptional spatiotemporal resolution.
With our market-leading swath, it will deliver daily, continuous monitoring of any location, combining 25 m high-resolution thermal imagery with coincident 10 m visible data.
This unmatched commercial capability enables continuous, analysis-ready surface temperature insights to support advanced environmental monitoring and decision-making worldwide.

Payload Solutions
Built by Hydrosat, delivered for your mission
Hydrosat’s growing satellite constellation is designed in-house with proprietary payloads built by our experts to deliver daily, global thermal and visible imagery at unprecedented spatial and radiometric performance.
The system will capture 10 m resolution VNIR bands and 25 m LWIR bands, producing a product optimized for advanced analytics and large-scale monitoring at up to 340 km swath.
Each imaging payload is engineered to deliver highly precise, consistently calibrated measurements with secure, low-latency data delivery – ensuring users receive accurate thermal insights quickly and reliably.
Signal Before It’s a Story
Thermal anomalies often emerge weeks before changes become visible to the human eye or traditional sensors. By identifying these early signals across large areas, analysts can tip higher-resolution sensors to the right location and uncover the story sooner.
Persistent Awareness
Thermal sensors can observe continually-day and night-and remain effective through dust, fog, and light vegetation. This makes it possible to detect surface patterns and anomalies across wide areas, that conventional imaging cannot reliably detect.
