CSDA Vendor - Pixxel

NASA's Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) program has acquired commercial datasets from BlackSky for scientific purposes.

Pixxel operates a constellation of high-resolution hyperspectral Earth observation satellites designed to deliver precise spectral measurements of Earth’s surface for frequent global monitoring. Its operational Firefly constellation provides analysis-ready data across more than 135 spectral bands in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) range at a 5-meter ground sample distance. This rich hyperspectral imagery supports a wide range of applications, including agricultural monitoring, water quality assessment, forest and ecosystem health, mineral exploration, infrastructure surveillance, and disaster response.
