More ways to observe Earth

The next-generation Honeybee constellation will extend observations into shortwave infrared, with its first launch planned for 2027. New radar and high-resolution optical capabilities will broaden the data available through Aurora, the company’s Earth-intelligence software.

Satellites and software for government missions

The company is also building sovereign Earth-observation systems. Manufacturing expansion supports both its own constellation and external missions, including the 12-satellite Indian public-private programme it was selected to lead.
