Spotlight EAP: Introducing Suhora
SatVu is launching the world’s first constellation of high-resolution infrared imaging satellites. Delivering a first-to-market, space-based solution to enable governments and commercial organisations to tackle the environmental impact of modern life through the use of high-resolution infrared data.
Ahead of the launch, 66 organisations have committed to harnessing the unique power of infrared imagery by signing up to our Early Access Programme.
As early adopters, these organisations enjoy preferred access to our high-resolution infrared tasking imagery and the opportunity to secure valuable capacity on the inaugural satellite.
Our Spotlight EAP Partners series will showcase these businesses and the innovative products and services they offer.
In this edition we learn about Suhora, a space analytics company based in Noida, India. Founded in 2018 by Amit Kumar, Rupesh Kumar and Krishanu Acharya.
Introducing Suhora
The team at Suhora is on a mission to become the leader in 3M (Monitoring, Mapping & Managing) of assets using space technology, AI, big data, and strategic technologies. Bringing situational awareness from responsive tasking by using space-based Optical, SAR, and thermal constellations.
Joining SatVu’s EAP
Having accessed and used the exclusive archive imagery available to early access partners to test the potential of high-resolution thermal imagery, Suhora plans to use our infrared imagery to monitor water-pollution and forest fires, in addition to a number of national security applications.
Such applications include: detecting small groups of troops, camouflage, militant fire anomaly, active aircraft over enemy air bases, and objects like vehicles, huts and tracks under the canopy.
Suhora’s long-term objective is to provide complementary information on optical and SAR data in national security applications. Our 3.5m thermal data will give Suhora new insight into national security, as well as mining, oil and gas, agriculture, forestry, environment monitoring.
Climate Talk
“One of the important derived products from thermal data is land surface temperatures which directly affect near-ground atmospheric temperature. So high-resolution thermal data like this helps to understand the temperature dynamics for a region at a very local level.” Krishanu Acharya, CO-FOUNDER & CEO, Suhora.
