Firefly is Pixxel’s flagship hyperspectral imaging satellite constellation, featuring six of the highest-resolution commercial hyperspectral satellites to date.
Three Firefly satellites successfully launched on SpaceX Transporter-12 on January 14th at 11:09 AM PST.
Designed to deliver critical climate and Earth insights with unmatched precision, each satellite sets a new benchmark in hyperspectral imaging. With advanced spectral capabilities, near real-time data collection, and wide-ranging applications, the Firefly constellation is poised to revolutionise how we understand, interact with, and safeguard our planet’s resources.

Pixxel’s Firefly constellation heralds a new era in Earth observation, combining high spatial resolution, spectral richness, and frequent global coverage.
With sensors six times sharper than the 30-meter standard of most existing hyperspectral satellites, Fireflies uncover hidden patterns and anomalies with unparalleled detail and accuracy, making it the world’s most advanced commercial hyperspectral imaging system. These satellites enable transformative applications, from monitoring deforestation and water pollution to optimising resource management and ensuring operational safety in industries like mining, oil, and gas.
The first three Firefly satellites are set to launch in January 2025, and the remaining three in Q2 2025. Once fully deployed, the constellation will equip industries and governments with actionable insights to tackle global challenges, drive informed decision-making, and advance meaningful climate action.
