Monitor activity, patterns and anomalies at sites of strategic importance during the day and at night.

A render of the HotSat-1 satellite in orbit above Earth

Unparalleled 3.5 m resolution

SatVu provides thermal data at unparalleled resolution for the clearest view of activity, patterns and anomalies at sites of strategic importance during the day and at night.

High-resolution thermal data can be used to see inside structures, and video can show activity and movement.

SatVu supports our clients and partners to make informed decisions in a changing world.

USE CASE

Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, North Korea

SatVu's high-resolution thermal imagery recently supported specialist publication 38 North with evidence which indicates increased levels of activity at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center in North Korea.

Features

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.
