View company profile

We are Hydrosat, a climate tech company driven by the mission to help Earth manage its most precious resource: water. We leverage the unique capabilities of thermal imagery from space, combined with other data sources, to provide critical insights for agriculture, environmental monitoring, and public safety. Our journey began in 2017 with a vision to transform how we understand and address water stress and its far-reaching impacts.

At our core, we're focused on turning complex satellite data into actionable intelligence. We're developing a constellation of sixteen spacecraft that will provide a complete heat map of Earth twice per day, offering unparalleled access to high-resolution thermal imagery. This technology allows us to measure plant health and water stress with remarkable precision, even before visible signs appear. For farmers, this means optimizing irrigation, increasing crop yields by as much as 50%, and conserving vital water resources – a critical need as global food demand is projected to rise significantly by 2050. Our primary product, IrriWatch, is already empowering growers in numerous countries across multiple continents, demonstrating the global applicability and impact of our solutions. Beyond agriculture, our data supports wildfire risk assessment, drought prediction, and broader environmental management, contributing to enhanced public safety and a more sustainable planet.

Our team is a blend of experts in big data analytics, remote sensing, machine learning, agronomy, and space technology. We are passionate about innovation and committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with geospatial intelligence. We've forged strong partnerships with organizations like the U.S. Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), and the European Space Agency (ESA), underscoring the value and versatility of our technology. We believe that by providing timely and accurate information, we can empower decision-makers – from individual farmers to large governmental agencies – to make choices that foster resilience and sustainability on a local and global scale. We are excited about the future and our role in creating a more water-secure and environmentally sound world for generations to come.
