Pixxel operates Firefly, a hyperspectral constellation imaging at around 5m across 250-plus bands, designed to detect biochemical and condition signals that broadband optical sensors miss.
All six Firefly satellites reached orbit in 2025, three in January and three more in August, and are now operating and capturing spectral data on diverse environmental indicators.
The company is India-anchored with explicit Global South positioning and leads a consortium selected by IN-SPACe to help build India’s national EO constellation.
