EOS Data Analytics, founded by Max Polyakov, started collaborating with Dragonfly Aerospace to launch multispectral imagers into LEO by 2022.

EOS Data Analytics & Dragonfly Aerospace Will Launch Multispectral Imagers in 2022
EOS Data Analytics and Dragonfly Aerospace recently signed an agreement. Dragonfly will design two multispectral imagers, and by early 2022, EOS will launch them into Low Earth Orbit. Imagers will be sent side by side and will ensure 7-spectral bands of pictures with one million resolution.
EOS & Dragonfly Imagers Potential
Imagers designed by Dragonfly Aerospace will have the potential to monitor environmental changes in real-time. Unlike most non-commercial satellites used for environmental tracking today, these imagers will be able to monitor smaller, more specific areas of land. As a result, this tech will be used not only to monitor man-made changes, but will also serve as a high-precision tool for agricultural forecasting.
Dragonfly Aerospace will also design specific filters for its imagers to cover both vast and small land areas. So, the product will have a commercial goal because it will allow farmers to monitor smaller fields and get accurate results on soil and yield conditions.
Another benefit of using Dragonfly and EOS tech is that farmers will get results up to seven times faster than they do now, using non-commercial satellites. Today, to get images from non-commercial devices, farmers are expected to wait for months. Obviously, such a long time cannot ensure precision farming because, by the time the images get back to Earth, obtained data becomes obsolete. EOS & Dragonfly’s upcoming imagers, on the other hand, are going to tackle this problem.
One more promising feature of Dragonfly imagers is picture clarity. One million resolution is practically ten times higher than the resolution used by non-commercial satellites. Such high resolution will be a huge improvement to the tech farmers use now, giving smaller households an opportunity to monitor separate fields rather than focus on large land areas.
Right now, EOS and Dragonfly are aiming for global coverage. However, they are also willing to give farmers a chance to get exclusive rights to the data obtained from satellites. So far, this tech looks like the most prominent step in precision farming and agricultural sector development.
However, Max Polyakov, EOS founder, emphasizes a larger goal behind satellite imagers. Like most of his space tech, these imagers will have the potential to preserve our planet’s resources for future generations. The businessman claims that sustaining the Earth’s resources should be the number one goal in any space exploration. This vision is clearly seen through most of Polyakov’s business ventures, and EOS Data Analytics is not an exception.
Today, EOS is headquarters in California, but it already boasts a number of scientific, governmental, and research projects worldwide. Dragonfly Aerospace is a South African company and a definite leader in its country. Bryan Dean, Dragonfly CEO, is very optimistic about the upcoming collaboration and plans to disclose more details about the imagers closer to the product launch.
