Our satellites
Gather rich data
At the heart of Kuva Space lies a constellation of hyperspectral microsatellites. Our satellites continuously capture scientific-grade data on Earth's evolving conditions, delivering the precise, context-rich data that power Kuva Sense™, our planetary intelligence platform.
By 2030, this network is set to expand to 100 satellites, offering sub-daily data acquisition anywhere on Earth. This enhanced capability will allow decision-makers in agriculture, aquaculture, environmental protection, forestry and security to respond faster and more effectively—whether it's monitoring crop health, forest vitality, assessing water quality, tracking environmental changes, or supporting critical security operations.
OUR PURPOSEFUL VISION
Why our satellites matter
Conventional satellite technology often cannot capture the depth of data needed to provide decision-makers with intelligence that can effectively address the critical challenges facing our world.
Whether detecting early signs of wildfires, monitoring crop health, or tracking environmental changes, decision-makers require frequent, high-quality data for timely action. This is where Kuva Space's advanced satellite technology shines. Our hyperspectral imaging satellites deliver:
- Continuous measurement with hundreds of spectral bands for unparalleled detail
- Near real-time intelligence for rapid response to time-critical events
- In-orbit tailored data acquisition that adapts to specific application needs
INNOVATIVE PRECISION
What sets us apart
Our satellites are designed with purpose and precision, incorporating cutting-edge features that set us apart:
Our satellites has three imaging modes. This allows us to focus on specific wavelengths relevant to each application, providing tailored, actionable intelligence.
With our growing constellation, we continuously collect data worldwide, ensuring you always have the most up-to-date information for timely decision-making.
Our advanced AI is integrated into every stage, from data capture to delivery, guaranteeing the intelligence you receive is accurate, relevant, and actionable.
By combining hyperspectral and relevant third-party data with AI analytics, we uncover hidden patterns, diagnose root causes, and predict future trends, giving you unparalleled insight.

OUR EYES IN SPACE
Meet our satellites
Our Hyperfield constellation represents a new era in Earth observation, with each carefully engineered satellite designed to gather rich, detailed data across a wide range of applications. The satellites operation is orchestrated with AI to streamline our data capture to analytics.
As our constellation grows, we continuously evolve our technology and coverage to meet the increasing global demand for timely, reliable intelligence about our planet.
Hyperfield-1A
Launched in August 2024, Hyperfield-1A is our first generation commercial satellite of our growing Hyperfield constellation. Its advanced hyperspectral imaging capabilities set a new standard for data collection, with Hyperfield-1B set to join the constellation in 2025 to expand our coverage capabilities.
