Our Constellation

Prepare for the future

Our next-generation constellation captures global imagery across the visible, near-infrared, and long-wave infrared spectra at exceptional spatiotemporal resolution.


Operating at 500 km above Earth, it will deliver daily, continuous monitoring of any location, combining 70 m high-resolution thermal imagery with coincident 30 m visible data.


This unmatched commercial capability enables continuous, machine-readable 30 m surface temperature insights to support advanced environmental monitoring and decision-making worldwide.

Why Thermal Matters

Uncover hidden signals

Most intelligence workflows depend on visible imagery-but visible light only tells part of the story. By detecting subtle changes in temperature across large areas, analysts can uncover activity, patterns, and anomalies that other sensors miss.

Signal Before the Noise

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 operate continuously-day or 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.

Satellites on Orbit

Following the launch of VZ-1 and VZ-2 (2025), our constellation is what drives us forward to bring change to people's lives, businesses and governments.

Orbit Type Sun synchronous
Orbit Altitude ~510 km
Overpass Time ~10:30 am or ~1:30 pm
Spectral bands 7 VNIR + 2 LWIR
GSD 30 m (VNIR), 70 m (LWIR)
Field of view 70 km

VNIR – Visible and Near-Infrared, LWIR – Long-Wave Infrared

The Next-Generation

Daily detection of hidden changes and emerging risk

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 10 m land surface temperature product optimized for advanced analytics and large-scale monitoring.

Each satellite is engineered to deliver highly precise, consistently calibrated measurements with secure, low-latency data delivery – ensuring users receive accurate thermal intelligence quickly and reliably.
