Constellr is a German NewSpace company specializing in space-based thermal intelligence, providing high-precision land surface temperature (LST) data. They are developing a constellation of microsatellites, including the HiVE constellation, equipped with long-wave infrared (LWIR) instruments for monitoring crop health and water usage in the agricultural sector. Constellr's data aims to support smart farming, improve resource management, and enhance food security. Key partners include the European Space Agency (ESA) and Fraunhofer EMI, with services targeting AgTech companies, research entities, and regulatory bodies.
