Constellr operates a sovereign constellation of thermal imaging satellites that deliver calibrated surface temperature measurements with ±1‑2 K accuracy at building‑scale resolution worldwide, day and night. By fusing this thermal data into a cloud‑native service, it provides actionable intelligence for detecting hidden activity, monitoring infrastructure load, and identifying environmental stress across defense, maritime, urban, industrial, and agricultural applications.

Problem
Traditional Earth observation relies on optical and radar imagery, which cannot reveal heat-based activity such as equipment operation, human presence, or infrastructure stress, especially under cloud cover or at night. This creates blind spots for agencies that need real‑time insight into critical infrastructure, security threats, and environmental conditions.
Solution
Constellr operates a constellation of sovereign thermal imaging satellites that deliver calibrated surface temperature measurements with ±1‑2 K accuracy at building‑level resolution worldwide, day and night. By fusing sensor data, the platform converts raw thermal signatures into actionable intelligence, enabling detection of hidden activity, tracking of behavior over time, verification of operational status, and identification of emerging risks. The data are streamed to users through a cloud‑based service that supports integration with existing analytics workflows and decision‑making tools. This thermal layer complements optical and radar sources, closing information gaps for security, maritime, urban, industrial, and agricultural applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers include defense and intelligence agencies, maritime and border authorities, smart‑city and urban planning organizations, industrial asset managers, and agricultural or water resource ministries that require reliable thermal insight for security, operational efficiency, and risk mitigation.
