Problem
Traditional Earth observation relies on large satellites with limited revisit frequency and coarse spectral resolution, making it difficult for industries to obtain timely, high‑detail data for crop monitoring, mineral exploration, and environmental protection.
Solution
Epic of Sun operates a constellation of Pallás nanossatélites equipped with photon‑counting cameras that capture imagery in more than 50 spectral bands. The onboard AI, developed with NVIDIA Inception support, processes the raw data in orbit, generating sector‑specific insights such as real‑time crop health metrics, mineral mapping, and deforestation alerts. Processed information is delivered through a web platform that provides alerts, forecasts, and reports, allowing customers to integrate satellite‑derived intelligence directly into their operational workflows with daily revisit capability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are agribusiness firms, mining companies, and environmental agencies that require frequent, high‑resolution satellite data to optimize operations and mitigate risks.
Features
- Photon‑counting camera on each nanossatélite delivering ultra‑sensitive multispectral images across 50+ bands
- Daily global revisit enabling near‑real‑time monitoring of dynamic phenomena
- Onboard AI inference pipeline that classifies and extracts actionable metrics in orbit
- Web‑based dashboard offering automated alerts, predictive forecasts, and downloadable reports
- Sector‑tailored analytics for agriculture (crop health, pest detection), mining (resource identification, tailings monitoring), and environmental protection (deforestation, fire detection, water resource tracking)
- Secure data transmission and storage compliant with industry standards
