Launching Tomorrow's Success: Join Our Journey
Wyvern is the way decision makers address the world’s biggest challenges. Our hyperspectral data reveals the hidden reality of planet Earth.
The Problem
Today’s businesses face a new era of risk. It’s no longer a question of if business leaders will have to face a crisis, but when.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, weather and climate disasters have wreaked havoc, leaving behind a trail of devastation and incurring billions of dollars in damages, reminiscent of the levels unseen since 1980.
The number of increasing catastrophic events will lead to a scarcity of natural resources, and eventual conflict over those resources. While geopolitical disruption isn’t new, its impact on the markets is only going to increase.
Our Solution
Wyvern is the way decision makers address the world’s biggest challenges. Our hyperspectral data reveals the hidden reality of planet Earth.
High quality hyperspectral data will power breakthroughs across industries and applications, from climate change to forestry, mining, energy, and defense. When you know the geochemical reality of what’s happening on the ground, you can identify opportunities to address planetary-scale problems.
The first [two] satellites in Wyvern’s Dragonette constellation are currently in orbit and fully operational. Wyvern is one of the few companies currently providing data scientists and analysts with reliable access to hyperspectral data. With our satellites, we are making hyperspectral imagery a valuable tool for a wide range of site monitoring, mapping, and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) use-case applications.
Wyvern’s next generation of satellites will secure our place as the leader in space-based hyperspectral data. Equipped with our proprietary technology – deployable hyperspectral optics – they will “unfold” in orbit. By packing more optical sensors on a smaller satellite, Wyvern will deliver the highest resolution hyperspectral data while maintaining the most favorable unit economics in the industry.

Why Hyperspectral?
Hyperspectral imaging delivers information that multispectral imaging simply cannot.
Today’s optical multispectral sensors are used to detect and measure risk for field operations across industries, but they don’t provide a complete picture. They have limited optical bands, reducing the amount of data available to segment and identify unique environmental characteristics. Industries, from energy to agriculture, are therefore unable to act with the precision and urgency required to address problems at a global scale.
Hyperspectral has more bands than multispectral, limiting spectral mixing and providing greater visibility and resolution into what’s really happening on the ground and what poses the greatest risks. Hyperspectral data also has tremendous logistical advantages — the data is more likely to interoperate with data from other sensor types, so organizations needn’t re-engineer or reinvest in new processes to harness its power.
The level of insight that can be gleaned from hyperspectral imagery is leaps and bounds beyond what other technologies can deliver, making it especially valuable for problems that require urgent and precise action. From addressing both the causes and symptoms of climate change, to managing food security and defense operations, hyperspectral delivers what other approaches cannot.
The Wyvern Advantage
Because we’re a data provider and not a platform, we are able to offer competitive and straightforward pricing that makes it easy for data scientists to dip their toes into hyperspectral. We have two licenses — internal use and public use.
We are focused solely on being the data provider for hyperspectral imagery. Our customers — technologically savvy data scientists — understand hyperspectral and have their own hypotheses to test and projects to run. Our model allows them to harness the power of hyperspectral without costly platform investments or the need to change cloud service providers. We’re here to deliver what they need to do their best and most transformative work.
Simply put, we actually have the data, and it speaks for itself. Thanks to our up-and-running Dragonette constellation, we can provide samples of our data in a way competitors cannot, which makes prospective customers feel more confident in working with us. They also needn’t wait to start integrating hyperspectral data into their enterprise strategies.
We are interested neither in technology for technology’s sake nor in selling our customers what they don’t need. We deeply believe in the power of hyperspectral imaging and how it can help us address world-scale problems like climate change. That’s why we’ve ultimately lowered the barrier to entry with attractive pricing and taking a data provider, rather than platform, approach.
We pride ourselves on being a Canadian space company (which of course makes us more attractive to our #1 target customer — the Canadian government). We draw on a national heritage of engineering, and innately understand the need for technologies like hyperspectral data, particularly when it comes to the management of natural resources.
Deployable optics are our biggest technological differentiator — they are what enables us to deliver 4x the resolution of our competitors. This is what gets our prospective customers excited about working with Wyvern.
