Insider Brief
- Wyvern has launched its Open Data Program, providing the earth observation community with free access to high-resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery.
- The imagery is available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0), which allows users to freely access, use, and modify the data, as long as they provide proper attribution
- Data from Wyvern’s Dragonette satellite constellation is included in the program, offering some of the highest resolution available in the field.
Wyvern announced it has launched its Open Data Program, providing the earth observation community with free access to high-resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery. This is the first public catalog to offer the highest resolution hyperspectral data commercially available. The imagery is available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0), which allows users to freely access, use, and modify the data, as long as they provide proper attribution.
The program aims to support various sectors, including industry, government, and academia, by offering a valuable resource to advance applications in areas such as wildfire mitigation, biodiversity monitoring, and other environmental issues. Wyvern’s goal is to help accelerate the development of hyperspectral solutions through easy and unrestricted access to its imagery.
Data from Wyvern’s Dragonette satellite constellation is included in the program, offering some of the highest resolution available in the field. The imagery is stored in a STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog)-compliant format, ensuring that users can easily search, retrieve, and use the data. Some datasets even feature multiple revisits of the same location, enabling more accurate monitoring and change detection.
Users can quickly access the data without any registration required, fostering innovation in software development, algorithm creation, and product validation. The free access to hyperspectral data also opens up possibilities for hackathons, model training, and proof-of-concept developments.
