Space technology startup Pixxel<\/a> has raised an additional $2.3 million in seed funding<\/a> from Omnivore VC<\/a> and Techstars<\/a>, alongside announcing its plans to build the world’s highest resolution hyperspectral satellite imaging<\/a> service. 空间技术创业Pixxel提出了额外的230万美元种子资金从不偏食的风投和Techstars,同时宣布计划建造世界上最高的分辨率高光谱卫星成像服务。
The latest investment brings Pixxel’s total capital raised in the seed stage to $7.3 million, adding to the $5 million the company raised from Lightspeed Ventures, Blume, growX, former Planet Labs president Ryan Johnson, among others.
“Our new funding enables us to build a health monitor for the planet through the world’s most advanced hyperspectral small-satellites. This enables us to capture some of the richest imagery that’s ever been beamed down to earth,” said Awais Ahmed, co-founder and CEO at Pixxel.
It’s the first time that Pixxel has shared publicly its plans and capabilities of the satellite constellation it is building, claiming that once deployed it will be able to provide 24-hour global coverage at a higher resolution and lower cost than any existing service providers.
The company said its solution will be able to provide 50 times more information than its competition, and will allow its satellites to track chemical signatures on earth in far more detail, helping solve issues in industries such as agriculture, energy and environmental conservation.
“Hyperspectral imaging is the next frontier in the $400 billion+ space industry<\/a> and Pixxel has proven it can build the hardware and software to be the leader in this category,” said Ryan Johnson, former CEO of Blackbridge, which was acquired by Planet Labs. “Having the best possible imaging technology in space will be critical to understanding our planet and making life more sustainable.”
Pixxel said its capabilities will allow it to see things that satellites haven’t been able to see so far, such as pest infestations and crop diseases, air and water pollution levels, and oil spills and gas leaks.
The company added that it would launch its first satellite within the next few months, after having scrapped its launch scheduled for February 28 atop ISRO’s PSLV-C51. Pixxel had said that it did not proceed with the launch due to software issues that surfaced during the final testing of the satellite.
Had the launch proceeded as scheduled, Pixxel would have been the first private Indian company to have launched an earth observation satellite into lower earth orbit.

最新的投资带来Pixxel总资本在种子阶段提高到730万美元,增加了500万美元,该公司提高了l企业,布鲁姆,growX,瑞安行星实验室前总统约翰逊,等等。
“我们的新资金使我们能够建立一个对地球健康监测器通过世界上最先进的高光谱小卫星。这使我们能够捕捉一些最富有的意象被传送到地球,“在Pixxel Awais艾哈迈德说,联合创始人兼首席执行官。
该公司表示,其解决方案能够提供50倍比它的竞争对手的信息,并将允许其卫星跟踪更详细的地球化学特征,帮助解决问题的行业,如农业、能源和环境保护。
“高光谱成像技术的下一个前沿的4000亿美元+空间行业和Pixxel已经证明它可以构建的硬件和软件是这一类的领导者,”Ryan约翰逊说,前任首席执行官Blackbridge,由地球获得的实验室。“有最好的成像技术在空间理解我们的星球将起到至关重要的作用,使生活更可持续。”
Pixxel表示其功能将允许它看到卫星的事情没能看到迄今为止,如虫害和作物疾病,空气和水的污染,石油泄漏和气体泄漏。
该公司还说,它将发射第一颗人造卫星在接下来的几个月,之后取消了发射定于2月28日在ISRO PSLV-C51。Pixxel曾表示,它不会继续发射期间出现的由于软件问题的最终测试卫星。
发射如期进行,Pixxel肯定是第一个私人印度公司已经启动了一个地球观测卫星送入低地球轨道。
