Our Mission
Build A Health Monitor For The Planet
We’re utilsing cutting-edge hyperspectral imaging to reveal what others can’t: subtle, early signals of change in Earth’s ecosystems, resources, and atmosphere.
With this level of detail, we help decision-makers act faster, manage smarter, and respond to threats before they escalate. From crop health and water quality to pollution and climate impact, we’re building the intelligence layer the planet urgently needs.
Our Vision
Accelerate Humanity’s
Expansion Into Space
Pixxel’s vision is to make in-space resources accessible and help build a more resilient Earth.
Our hyperspectral satellite constellation will monitor the planet in detail and map resource-rich zones across the solar system, paving the way for asteroidal discovery. In time, this will enable heavy industry to shift off-planet, easing Earth’s burden and opening new frontiers.
We see a future where space technology drives global progress, empowers environmental solutions, and makes interplanetary life possible.
