Monitor urban heat and environmental change to make impactful decisions and track progress.
SatVu helps governments, city leaders, non-governmental organisations and communities to monitor urban heat and environmental change.
High-resolution thermal data can be used to understand and mitigate the impact of urban heat and extreme heat incidents.
SatVu’s data brings new perspectives to help leaders make impactful decisions and track progress as we adapt to our changing climate.
OPO’s nature data platform integrates SatVu’s high-resolution thermal data to enhance city planning.

Monitor activity at night: Unlike high-resolution optical, SatVu’s data can see at night. It can also see through smoke. High resolution thermal imagery represents a vital night-time optical substitute.
A globally scalable solution: Unlike thermal data captured from aeroplanes or drones, SatVu can capture data from any point on the earth’s surface, including inaccessible or restricted areas, and it can do this in a uniform way.
Video capability: SatVu is the only company capable of providing thermal data in the form of both still image and video up to 60 seconds long - allowing you to track movement across the built and natural environment.
Monitor changes to the natural environment.
Image: Mangrove environments are visible in Darwin, Australia. Captured by HotSat-1.
Monitor the planned and illegal flaring activity.
Image: Thermal imagery shows evidence of gas flaring at Ruwais Refinery in the UAE. Captured by HotSat-1.
Monitoring solar farms to detect potential faults on a global scale, and at a far higher frequency and lower cost than current methods.
Image: Heat variation across solar panels at the Aragorn Solar Project in Texas, USA. Captured by HotSat-1.
Understand thermal contamination.
Image: Hotter effluent water entering the sea is visible at the Kori Nuclear Power Plant in South Korea. Captured by HotSat-1.
See through smoke to monitor fires in both the natural and built environment. High-resolution thermal data indicates the behaviour of the fire, the fire-front, direction of travel, and hotspots to better inform firefighters.
Image: Wildfire fronts are visible in Northwest Territories, Canada. Captured by HotSat-1.
Monitor planned and illegal deforestation.
Image: Deforested areas are clearly visible in Ituri, Congo. Captured by HotSat-1.
Monitor the impact of the urban heat and extreme heat events. Pinpoint urban areas most at risk from the impact of rising temperatures to prioritise mitigation action.
Identify features that contribute to cooler temperatures to inform city planners and developers then measure the impact of new developments and intervention measures over time.
Image: Evidence of urban heat are very noticeable in this nighttime image of Rome, Italy. The comparison between the Vatican and tree-lined Castel Sant'Angelo highlights this difference. Captured by HotSat-1.
Compare how different neighborhoods are impacted by urban heat island.
Image: In Fresno, California, USA, high-density urban areas retain heat more readily. By comparison, the tree-lined suburbs of the wealthy suburb of Fig Gardens are noticeably cooler. Captured by HotSat-1.
