EOS Data Analytics, part of Max Polyakov’s Noosphere Ventures, has developed incredibly powerful imagers. And thanks to their partnership with Dragonfly, the technology is set to go live, in low earth orbit, in 2022.


New Imagers Set to Provide Most Detailed Farming Images Ever

A new space launch is scheduled for 2022, thanks to a deal struck between EOS Data Analytics and Dragonfly. Two high performance HP-250 multispectral imagers will be put into low earth orbit, creating wide swath images in 7 bands, at a resolution of nearly one million. The launch marks a great step forward earth observation solutions, with a particular focus on renewable farming and resource preservation. The two companies have a solid background in space projects, and it’s an exciting partnership that looks set to deliver solid results. Not only are they using groundbreaking imager technology, considerably more powerful than that already in orbit. They are also utilising the big data analytics of EOS to analyse the new images in detail.

Technology Many Times More Effective than Those Currently Available

The technology behind the launch is impressive. EOS chose Dragonfly for the superiority of their imagers. Once in orbit, the satellite will be able to make multi spectral image data at a rate 5-7 times faster than any competing systems. As a result, farmers will be able to track progress on the ground in real time, rather than waiting months to get the images they need. The resolution is 3-10 times greater than that, which is currently used by most similar satellites. This makes it far more effective at providing detailed images of smaller spaces, something that has generally been ignored in the industry. On top of that, the enhanced anomaly detection will be able to provide farmers with details on a wide range of different variables, such as soil and yield.

Data Could Prove Crucial for Effective Farming

EOS Data Analytics, part of the Noosphere Maxym Polyakov portfolio of investments, is doing valuable work. While there’s plenty of satellite imagery out there, not enough of it is focused on tasks such as farm maintenance. Farming is one area, which desperately needs to be reformed, if we are going to reduce resource use and fight climate warming. But without reliable real-time data, it’s impossible for farmers to make the changes they need. The new EOS-Dragonfly satellite is particularly useful because, due to the extremely high resolution, it’s capable of covering much smaller patches of earth. This means it’s useful not just for massive farms, but also smaller ones looking to save resources, and implement green farming.

Conclusion

EOS Data Analytics have made a name for themselves investing in innovation that can make a genuine difference. This latest partnership with Dragonfly is the ideal way for them to create an effective system to monitor farming changes back on Earth. Once launched in 2022, their satellite and imagers will provide us with crucial up-to-date information, letting us work towards a greener planet.
