Satellite Technology for Agriculture

Pioneering Earth Observation for a Resilient Future

Providing expertise in translating scientific data and information into operational systems for business, addressing key challenges. We bring together the best technologies and expertise to deliver scalable solutions.

Satellite-based earth observation is a powerful tool to monitor and assess conditions in agricultural systems, forests and water resources.

Its application provides crucial capabilities for the early detection of climate hazards, such as drought, enabling timely interventions, alongside precise tracking of land cover changes and deforestation rates.

Advancing Next-Generation Satellite Capabilities

We are currently working with several technology partners as part of a European Space Agency (ESA) project VOLT to advance the use of satellite based remote sensing in relation to climate related hazards and adaptive or transformative resilience.

Through our contract with ESA on the VOLT mission we will access high resolution hyperspectral imagery in addition to mainstay sources of data such as the Sentinels and climate monitoring networks.

This collaboration is set to equip the agricultural industry with next-generation satellite data for agricultural monitoring, delivering insights in a way that will transform how we manage and secure agricultural landscapes globally.

VOLT Mission

The ESA – VOLT consortium is pioneering the next generation of smart earth observing satellite technologies, capable of generating and communicating insights for specific target areas on the fly, without the need to download large image files via ground stations.

The satellite set to launch in 2026, with a smart, taskable hyperspectral EO payload.

Our Contribution

Resilience Constellation is working closely with satellite engineers at Craft Prospect developing experimental, taskable satellite with inflight processing capabilities. Our core contribution involves designing the tasking functionality for the Resilience Constellation Satellite Services (RCSS), particularly assessing its commercialisation potential for agricultural applications. This ensures that users can effectively access pre-processed satellite imagery, leveraging VOLT’s in-flight processing and hyperspectral data to enable precise decision-making.
