Satellite Vu Secures £1 Million from UK Space Agency to Advance Thermal Imaging Technology
Satellite Vu, a British satellite scaleup offering high-resolution thermal imagery, has secured nearly £1 million in funding from the UK Space Agency
The funding will support the development of Satellite Vu's technology, which uses satellites to provide real-time data on building temperatures, helping to tackle climate change and predict global disasters
The company plans to launch seven thermal and infrared imaging satellites into space, with the first launch scheduled for October 2022.
ProblemTechnology
"40% of global carbon emissions come from buildings, and we lack real-time data on the energy efficiency of individual buildings."
Solution
"Satellite Vu provides real-time thermal imaging of buildings, allowing for insights into energy efficiency and emissions, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment."
