Pixxel and UP42 Announce Partnership, Bringing Hyperspectral Data to Users Worldwide

Berlin, Germany, Bengaluru, India, and Los Angeles, California, 4th December 2025: Pixxel, a planetary intelligence company leveraging satellites, systems and software to build a health monitor for the planet, and UP42, the next-generation platform and marketplace for Earth observation data and analytics, announced their partnership today, making data from Pixxel’s Firefly constellation available to UP42’s global customer base.

End users of UP42 will be able to order 5-meter resolution hyperspectral imagery from Pixxel’s six-satellite Firefly constellation, covering 135+ spectral bands with a 40 km swath width, an unprecedented capability for commercial use. 

Pixxel’s hyperspectral imagery unlocks a new dimension of analysis for Earth observation, offering the ability to detect subtle signals and granular insights invisible to conventional multispectral sensors. Pixxel’s data will support various applications in agriculture, climate, and forestry, from identifying crop stress before it's visible to soil analysis and environmental monitoring. 

Awais Ahmed, Founder and CEO, Pixxel, said: “UP42 has created one of the most dynamic ecosystems in the Earth observation industry. Being a part of their platform will open up our hyperspectral imagery to a global community. We look forward to joining the impressive roster of constellations on their platform and enabling innovators everywhere to integrate a richer layer of Earth data into their solutions.”

“Pixxel’s Firefly constellation brings a powerful new hyperspectral data source to UP42,” said Jussi Koski, CPO of UP42. “Our users will have the ability to order fresh imagery from Pixxel. We’re excited to see how their constellation and capabilities will expand over the course of our partnership.”

This collaboration marks a significant step towards Pixxel’s vision of making hyperspectral imaging a mainstream tool for understanding and improving life on Earth. By joining UP42’s ecosystem, Pixxel is expanding the reach of its Firefly constellation to a global network of innovators addressing critical challenges across various industries and geographies.
