Company mission
To solve the planet's most pressing operational, environmental, and safety problems in real time at scale.
Our take
Orbital Sidekick is changing global monitoring through its GHOSt (Global Hyperspectral Observation Satellites). The system utilizes hyperspectral imaging and AI to provide detailed insights into environmental and operational risks. This enables the identification of methane leaks, wildfire risks, and agricultural conditions with unmatched sensitivity.
The company serves various industries, including energy, mining, agriculture, and defence, offering real-time, actionable data for improving sustainability, security and operational integrity. Its platform, SIGMA, also supplies customizable monitoring tools for organizations in need of constant surveillance.
With this, the company has seen considerable success, securing partnerships with top energy companies and government agencies. Now planning more satellite launches, and with significant funding to its name, Orbital is ready to scale its operations for a greater impact across global industries.
