Help Earth manage its most precious resource: Water

Hydrosat leverages the unique capabilities of thermal imagery from space to measure water stress in agriculture and enhance food security, public safety and the environment.

Water Scarcity

The major threat to Food Security

According to the United Nations, feeding 10 billion people sustainably by 2050 will require an increase in food production by more than 50%. However, climate change, extreme weather events, and growing competition for water resources all threaten our global food supply.

Water scarcity in numbers

Water seems abundant on planet Earth, but increasing population, extensive agriculture, and climate change are causing severe regional water scarcity, threatening food security for billions of people.

Our Constellation

Detecting water stress from space to prevent food crisis.

Hydrosat's satellite constellation, featuring thermal, visible, and near-infrared sensors all collocated on the same platform, delivers unprecedented information and accuracy for assessing crop health. Its high temporal and spatial resolution thermal imagery provides early indicators of water stress in crops, helping to prevent food crises before they occur.
