Hydrosat, a leading provider of thermal infrared satellite data and AI-powered analytics, has launched its new Discovery Portal, a centralised gateway for customers to access, explore and leverage thermal imagery and analytics from space.
Discovery Portal enables organisations to access and evaluate thermal intelligence products powered by Hydrosat’s flagship Land Surface Temperature dataset, generated from its growing constellation of thermal infrared satellites.
Unlike traditional optical imagery, thermal imagery captures heat signatures from Earth's surface, providing actionable insights across vast geographic areas, day or night, and often in conditions where conventional imaging is limited.
With over 500 million sq km of imagery already collected by Hydrosat’s satellites in orbit, Hydrosat’s thermal insights enable customers to identify emerging risks and changing conditions up to two weeks earlier than conventional observation methods.
“Thermal data reveals what traditional imagery often cannot: how heat, water, and vegetation stress are changing across Earth's surface,” said Scott Soenen, Chief Technology Officer at Hydrosat.
“With the Discovery Portal, we are making Hydrosat’s thermal intelligence easier to access, evaluate, and integrate into operational systems. This is an important step toward turning high-resolution thermal satellite data into a scalable decision layer for agriculture, water management, infrastructure monitoring and national security.”
Built for integration and the scale required for enterprise and government applications, the platform features a STAC-compliant catalogue, cloud optimised GeoTIFF delivery and an API-first architecture that enables users to seamlessly access and incorporate data into existing workflows.
An automated, quality-control-validated publication pipeline ensures customers receive reliable, analysis-ready datasets that accelerate application development, operational decision-making and time-to-value.
The company says its Discovery Portal establishes a scalable foundation
for delivering data, analytics and future subscription-based services to
a growing global customer base across government and commercial
markets.
It reduces the complexity of accessing and operationalising satellite-derived intelligence while accelerating time-to-value, allowing customers to explore, evaluate and access Hydrosat thermal imagery through flexible subscription and scene-based options tailored to different operational needs, from ongoing monitoring to one-time acquisitions.
