HiVE
Earth observation satellite constellation
The High-precision Versatile Ecosphere (HiVE) is a satellite constellation of Earth observation satellites under development by the German company constellr. The constellation is designed to deliver high resolution land surface temperature data on a global scale using infrared imaging for agriculture, urban planning, and infrastructure management. HiVE is supported and partially funded by the European Space Agency's InCubed programme and contributes to the EU's Copernicus programme for Earth observation. First two satellites of the constellation were launched on two separate flights of Falcon 9 in 2025.
