Astraea was a geospatial analytics firm that applied data science and AI to analyze imaging and sensor data from Earth-observing satellites. Their platform provided access to satellite imagery from sources like Planet, Maxar, and BlackSky, using built-in algorithms to provide insights to end-users. They were acquired by Nuview in February 2024, a company developing a satellite imaging constellation with lidar technology. Astraea's platform infrastructure is now poised to offer AI solutions and data for climate initiatives and sustainable development in conjunction with Nuview's technology.
