Live imagery and mineral detection from orbit.
EAK-Orbitals builds CubeSats and TubeSats for Earth observation and scientific research. Companies can contract us for live imagery of a site, or for infrared spectral surveys that identify mineral deposits from space — we find it, you mine it.
What we can be contracted for.
Point the spacecraft at your area of interest on the next available pass and receive verified, timestamped frames direct from our Johannesburg ground station.
Our infrared spectral payload discriminates surface mineral signatures from orbit. We survey the ground, deliver the anomaly map, and your teams mine it.
Repeat-pass comparison for tailings dams, stockpiles, illegal mining, coastal erosion and land-use change.
Post-flood, post-fire and post-conflict damage mapping when terrestrial networks are down.
Multi-band indices for crop stress, irrigation performance and rangeland condition.
Raw and calibrated datasets licensed to universities, agencies and commercial research groups.
From brief to delivered dataset.
You send the coordinates, cadence and spectral bands you need.
We return pass windows, resolution, and a fixed-price tasking quote.
The spacecraft images the target; downlink is captured at EAK-GS1.
Georeferenced imagery and spectral analysis delivered under contract.
All EAK-Orbitals spacecraft designs and our optical/infrared camera assembly are patented. The intellectual property may not be reproduced or operated by third parties.
