The company aims to collect surface temperature data using satellites equipped with infrared sensors. The startup will also be able to significantly increase its workforce, as it aims to speed to market. The startup is also partnering with the Rochester Institute of Technology – which calibrates the thermal infrared data from the NASA Landsat program – for data calibration. Fossel added that the startup has already signed agreements with companies in the agricultural and environment space, though he declined to provide further details. While the startup still has a mid-term goal of launching a 16-satellite constellation, Fossel said the size of the constellation is not as important as the frequency of the data the company is able to deliver.
