Pixxel, a California-based space technology company, has launched the first three satellites of its Firefly constellation, which is designed to be the highest-resolution hyperspectral satellite network in the world. 

The satellites were launched on January 15, 2025, by German launch management company Exolaunch as part of the Transporter-12 rideshare mission using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. 

According to Pixxel, the Fireflies provide “unprecedented precision to monitoring the planet and setting a new benchmark for hyperspectral imaging capabilities.”
