Wyvern and Lemu to advance Earth and biodiversity observation from space through high-quality hyperspectral images

By combining the strengths of Wyvern’s Dragonette satellite constellation —providing the highest-resolution commercial hyperspectral imagery from space— and Lemu’s own Lemu Nge hyperspectral satellite —the world’s first exclusively dedicated to biodiversity observation— this collaboration is set to support companies in the mining, energy, agriculture, forestry, and environmental management sectors in their efforts to monitor, assess and manage natural resources more effectively, while also helping to bridge the existing nature data gap for the Southern Hemisphere.

As part of the agreement, Lemu will procure Wyvern’s hyperspectral imagery to enhance the already extensive data capabilities of Atlas, Lemu’s nature intelligence platform. Atlas delivers a comprehensive portfolio of environmental indicators for companies seeking to understand their interface with nature throughout their value chain, make agile nature-based decisions, and progress towards their sustainability goals. In turn, Wyvern will task the Lemu Nge satellite when excess imaging capacity exists, expanding its already extensive capabilities to provide hyperspectral imagery to its network and maximizing the efficiency of data collection and delivery across the globe.

“This partnership with Lemu expands Wyvern’s global footprint by aligning with a company that shares our mission: Creating a better Earth, from Space,” said Tom VanMatre, Chief Revenue Officer at Wyvern. “The demand for hyperspectral imagery far outweighs the supply, and the more organizations that understand and use this technology, the better. By working together, Wyvern and Lemu are making hyperspectral data more accessible and valuable across industries, helping businesses and governments make more informed decisions about our planet.”

“This collaboration with Wyvern is the perfect reflection of Lemu’s profound belief in collective intelligence, because as we always say at Lemu, nobody achieves anything alone,” said Leo Prieto, Lemu’s founder and CEO. “Together, we will unlock new possibilities to make nature visible in every decision, delivering greater access to critical environmental data and helping businesses across multiple sectors understand their operation’s impact and dependence on nature.”

Both companies will also explore synergies for product development opportunities to keep delivering advanced Earth observation solutions and collaborate on joint applications for grants, contracts, and projects to strengthen their remote sensing technologies and services.

Wyvern and Lemu are committed to fostering a long-term partnership that pushes the boundaries of Earth observation while supporting commercial industries in their efforts to understand their impact and dependencies on nature, contributing to securing healthy ecosystems through nature-based solutions, and studying and protecting the natural world.

About Lemu

Lemu harnesses cutting-edge technology to offer comprehensive environmental data solutions. Through Atlas, its nature intelligence platform, organizations can visualize nature throughout their value chain, measure its impact, evaluate dependencies, and support sustainability goals, balancing business objectives and nature protection. Lemu’s hyperspectral nanosatellite, Lemu Nge (“Forest Eye” in Mapudungun), is the world’s first satellite exclusively designed for biodiversity observation and the first private satellite in Chile’s history.
