HiVE
Earth observation satellite constellation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The High-precision Versatile Ecosphere (HiVE) is a satellite constellation of Earth observation satellites under development by the German company constellr.[1] The constellation is designed to deliver high resolution land surface temperature data on a global scale using infrared imaging for agriculture, urban planning, and infrastructure management.[2][3][4][5][6] HiVE is supported and partially funded by the European Space Agency's InCubed programme[7][8][9] and contributes to the EU's Copernicus programme for Earth observation.[10][11][12] First two satellites of the constellation were launched on two separate flights of Falcon 9 in 2025.[13][14]
