Igniting A New Era
The Fireflies in orbit!
Firefly is Pixxel’s first commercial constellation, featuring six satellites designed for high-resolution, high-frequency hyperspectral imaging on a global scale. Three Firefly satellites successfully launched on SpaceX Transporter-12 on January 14th 2025.
In orbit and actively capturing high-fidelity spectral information across diverse environmental indicators, the Fireflies are advancing Earth Observation through deeper visibility, broader coverage and faster access. Three more satellites are set to launch soon, further strengthening the constellation.

Transforming Earth observation with
The Highest-Resolution Hyperspectral Satellites
Pixxel’s Firefly constellation brings together high spatial resolution, rich spectral depth, and global frequency to unlock deeper insights from space.
With six times the spatial resolution of most existing systems, Fireflies capture patterns and changes that traditional satellites miss, across more than 250+ spectral bands. From tracking deforestation and water pollution to monitoring crop stress and industrial activity, the constellation brings clarity to complex challenges.
The first three Fireflies launched in January 2025, and three more are set to launch soon. Once fully deployed, they will offer daily global coverage and data to support stronger monitoring, better planning and faster response across sectors for industries and governments.
