VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, CALIFORNIA – A fantastic achievement for several portfolio companies as SpaceX’s Transporter-12 Rideshare Mission successfully launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base last night.
Pixxel: Transforming Hyperspectral Imaging
India’s star is shining brighter with the successful launch of three Pixxel Firefly hyperspectral satellites. Delivering the highest-resolution commercial hyperspectral images ever achieved, these satellites are set to revolutionize environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, and sustainability efforts. As the first private satellite constellation from an Indian company, Pixxel’s mission symbolizes a monumental step for India’s space industry. For Seraphim, this is a testament to the power of investing in trailblazers who turn bold visions into reality.
Constellr: Enabling Planetary Preservation
Constellr, launched SkyBee-1, the inaugural satellite of its HiVE constellation. Designed to deliver precise land surface temperature readings, HiVE is primed to detect early signs of heat stress in crops, driving smarter agricultural practices and conserving billions of tons of water globally. SkyBee-1 marks the start of a mission to ensure Earth’s finite resources are managed wisely, and Seraphim’s backing ensures these bold innovations receive the momentum they need to thrive.
ICEYE: Elevating SAR Leadership
ICEYE, the global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Earth observation, continues to set the industry standard. Yesterday’s deployment of four ICEYE satellites—manufactured in Finland and the United States—expanded its constellation to 44, further enhancing capabilities in disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, and environmental management. Seraphim’s investment in ICEYE underscores its commitment to driving technologies that safeguard humanity and deliver unparalleled insight into Earth’s complexities.
