On August 16, climate tech company Hydrosat announced the successful launch of VanZyl-1: the first commercial satellite offering high-resolution thermal imagery and global coverage. Hydrosat leverages thermal imagery to measure water stress in agriculture and combat the effects of climate change.
This breakthrough will transform how growers and government agencies monitor and address agricultural, environmental, and climate challenges.
VanZyl-1’s thermal imagery will revolutionize water management and agriculture by providing high-resolution heat maps of the planet. These maps help mitigate climate change impacts and enhance global food security.
“With the escalating threat of droughts and water scarcity worldwide, access to reliable data is essential to understanding water utilization and sustaining agricultural productivity,” said Pieter Fossel, co-founder and CEO of Hydrosat. “As the global food system faces mounting pressure, businesses and governments are increasingly seeking better data to manage risks in real-time. The launch of VanZyl-1 represents a pivotal advancement in accelerating the delivery of high-quality data that fuels climate applications, providing invaluable insights to tackle pressing environmental issues.”
