GEOINT 2024 - Pixxel | Skip Maselli

Skip Maselli, an experienced professional in the geospatial industry, discusses his background and his role at Pixxel, a company focused on building hyperspectral satellite constellations. He highlights the unique capabilities of Pixxel’s satellites and the value of hyperspectral imaging in various applications. 🛰️ Pixxel aims to build a hyperspectral sensor that combines spectral and spatial capabilities. 📡 Pixxel’s satellite constellation will consist of six satellites with 160 bands each, providing a 4.8 meter nominal resolution and a 40 km swath. 🌱 Hyperspectral imaging allows for the identification of subtle differences in plant species, mineral composition, and other features. 🏭 Pixxel collaborates with other companies to enhance detection capabilities, such as identifying specific camouflage materials. 🌩️ Hyperspectral imaging is complementary to other sensing technologies, like SAR, and has its own strengths and weaknesses. 🚀 Maselli is passionate about accelerating the development and adoption of hyperspectral imaging and educating others about its potential.
