Introduction to the application areas of high-resolution hyperspectral satellites
Xplore, a dual-use space company, launched its first CubeSat hyperspectral satellite, XCUBE-1, from Vandenberg Space Center in California at 3:34 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on December 21, 2024. The satellite was launched in a co-orbital mission with SpaceX, carried out by launch integrator Maverick Space Systems in collaboration with SpaceX, and was deployed into a mid-inclination orbit. This marks a significant milestone in Xplore's constellation deployment and service offerings.

Favorable "1+6" policies for commercial spaceflight: Capital is being precisely channeled into the commercial spaceflight sector.
NEWS: The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has clarified that "commercial aerospace" will be included in the scope of the fifth set of listing standards, broadening the listing channel for high-quality, unprofitable companies.
At the 2025 Lujiazui Forum, which opened on June 18, Wu Qing, Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), announced a "1+6" policy package to deepen the reform of the Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR Market). The core of this round of reforms lies in enhancing the capital market's institutional inclusiveness and adaptability to technological innovation. Many of these measures directly benefit companies in cutting-edge technology fields such as commercial aerospace, artificial intelligence, and the low-altitude economy, particularly significantly lowering the listing and financing threshold for commercial aerospace companies.

How to identify oil palm growing areas using satellite remote sensing data
Oil palm is an important economic crop, and its distribution information is crucial for agricultural monitoring, land use assessment, and resource management. This paper proposes a multi-source remote sensing method combining Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data for high-precision extraction of oil palm distribution information. Sentinel-1 provides all-weather, all-time radar imagery, unaffected by weather conditions; Sentinel-2 provides optical imagery containing rich information such as vegetation indices and texture features. The complementarity of these two sources provides favorable conditions for oil palm identification.

Comparison of atmospheric corrections between MODTRAN and 6S models
The purpose of atmospheric correction is to eliminate the influence of atmospheric and light factors on the reflection of ground objects, obtain the real physical model parameters such as ground object reflectivity and emissivity, and surface temperature, and use them to eliminate the influence of water vapor, oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone in the atmosphere on the reflection of ground objects, and to eliminate the influence of atmospheric molecules and aerosol scattering.

Pixxel Firefly Hyperspectral Satellite
Firefly is Pixxel's flagship hyperspectral imaging satellite constellation, featuring six commercially available hyperspectral satellites with the highest resolution to date.
