📄️ About Wyvern
Wyvern is a Canadian aerospace company and Earth observation satellite imagery data provider headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. Wyvern is the leading provider of high-quality hyperspectral imagery data products collected by a spaceborne constellation of satellites.
📄️ Hyperspectral Imaging
To effectively monitor and map the vast surface of the Earth, satellite-based remote sensing data collection and analysis is required. Wyvern's constellation of Earth observation satellites, ground segment, and product generation system is designed to provide the highest quality high-resolution, accurate, and timely electro-optical imagery. Wyvern's satellites are equipped with hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensors that collect imagery data in many narrow spectral bands that enables the identification of unique chemical and physical properties of the Earth's surface unlocking novel spectroscopy analysis from space.
📄️ Dragonette Constellation
Wyvern's operational Dragonette constellation consists of 6U cubesat satellites that were launched into low Earth orbit (LEO). All satellites in the Dragonette constellation operate in sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) and provide hyperspectral imaging in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) wavelengths. Each Dragonette satellite has an orbital period of approximately 15 orbits per day with approximately 24° of longitude ground-track separation between orbital passes at the equator. The imageable latitude range for the Dragonette satellites in SSO is within the range of +82°N to -82°S but at extreme high latitudes imaging is only available for a limited number of days near the summer solstice.
📄️ Calibration and Validation
The calibration of Earth observation imaging sensors hosted on satellite platforms is vital to generate radiometrically and geometrically corrected imagery data that can be scientifically analysed in a consistent manner with ability to perform relative comparison between datasets. A consistent radiometric and geometric correction of imagery data products must be achieved to perform change detection analysis of spatiotemporal collections over time from the same satellite, across multiple satellites in the Wyvern Dragonette constellation, and inter-platform comparisons of datasets acquired from other commercial or science mission satellites (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel, PRISMA, etc.). Consequently, Wyvern has performed a rigorous calibration and validation (cal/val) refinement of each operational satellite in the Dragonette constellation to ensure the best possible quality for every imagery data product.
📄️ Security and Confidentiality
Wyvern provides access to high-quality Earth observation imagery data products in a highly secure and confidential manner that aligns with the requirements of extremely sensitive missions. Wyvern has implemented industry-standard security measures while maintaining strict privacy protocols that ensure our client's identity, information and data is strictly confidential. Consequently, Wyvern has taken the necessary measures to ensure that the systems, infrastructure, facilities, people, and information are protected to the highest industry standards.
