Scout Family of Instruments
The first ever miniaturized hyperspectral imager with its own brain.
Made to fit satellites the size of a shoebox
The Scout line comprises compact hyperspectral imaging instruments designed for small satellites. These systems capture data in many more spectral bands than the human eye can perceive, enabling detailed Earth observation. Optimised for cost-efficient missions and high revisit rates, Scout instruments support near-real-time monitoring of rapidly changing environmental and agricultural phenomena, and can also be tailored for planetary science.

Application examples
Algae detection
HyperScout can be configured to identify algae. This contributes to the detection of harmful algal blooms, which affect the quality of drinking water and habitats for wildlife.
This image shows coral reefs near Lucinda, a coastal town in Queensland, Australia, as seen by HyperScout in October 2020.
Vegetation health
HyperScout can be used to monitor indicators of the condition of vegetation over wide geographic areas, which is a prerequisite for environmental decision-making.
This image shows the province Flevoland, the Netherlands, as seen by HyperScout in November 2020.
Crop water requirement
HyperScout can be configured to monitor crop water requirement. This enables farmers to better manage water for irrigation.
This image shows agricultural fields in the Ceylanpinar region, Turkey, as seen by HyperScout in November 2018.
Flood delineation
HyperScout can monitor how flooded areas develop over time, with a high temporal resolution.
This image shows the coastline of the Gulf of Aqaba, Saudi Arabia, as seen by HyperScout in October 2020.
Change detection
HyperScout can be used for change detection. Applications vary from water and soil pollution to deforestation, for example the monitoring of water basins to assess the level of desertification.
