Hydrosat is a climate tech company and a geospatial data analytics provider that specializes in delivering satellite imagery and data analytics, particularly high-resolution thermal infrared imagery, to measure water stress and climate impact. They plan to operate a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit to provide global coverage. Hydrosat's primary focus is on creating irrigation and crop management solutions to help governments preserve water while increasing farmers' crop yields, and their customers include agribusinesses, government entities like the US Air Force and NRO, and organizations such as the ESA. Key applications include crop yield forecasting and irrigation management.
