Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Bengaluru, India, Pixxel builds Firefly, a constellation of commercial hyperspectral imaging satellites. The Firefly system delivers native 5-meter spatial resolution across 250+ spectral bands with a 40-kilometer-wide swath and daily revisit capability. Six Firefly satellites launched in 2025 aboard SpaceX rideshare missions, marking the first phase of a planned 24-satellite constellation. Pixxel's data serves agriculture, mining, oil and gas, forestry, and climate and environmental monitoring customers. The company has raised $197.3 million in funding, including a $100 million Series C announced in September 2026.
Pixxel's hyperspectral imaging constellation addresses a market for earth observation data that reveals surface chemistry invisible to conventional multispectral systems. The company's $197.3 million in total funding and $100 million Series C round demonstrate investor backing for commercial space-based earth observation infrastructure. With six satellites deployed and a 24-satellite constellation planned, Pixxel is building operational satellite infrastructure to capture agricultural, environmental, and resource-extraction data at scale.
