Satellite Vu signs second SpaceX launch contract for thermal data collection
Summary
Satellite Vu intend to use this data to analyse heat signatures and the wasted energy of buildings, industrial plants, and factories, assisting the transition to a Net Zero future, and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees through effective decarbonisation of the economy. Furthermore, they will support compliance to Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and sustainability credentials (e.g., ESG), combating greenwashing claims, by providing measurable data for accurate reporting. Anthony Baker, Founder and CEO at Satellite Vu said: “Environmental issues are top of the agenda with the summer heatwave and the proliferation of wildfires over the past few months, reminding everyone of the urgent need to take action to provide a hospitable climate for all within our lifetimes. Using less CO2, well add to our constellation faster than previously planned, and deliver more data to customers monitoring heatwaves, wildfires, and industrial emissions. "Recent extreme events – such as 40-degree temperatures in the UK, and Marchs deadly heatwave in India and Pakistan – have been made much more likely by climate change, so the faster we can deliver data to help reduce emissions and inform adaptation measures, the better.” Nell Agate Tsui, Quant ESG Analyst at Satellite Vu commented: “Earth Observation is all about understanding the world we live in.
