Make Earth
more habitable.
We build and operate satellites to measure ocean winds more often.

01 / The mission
Our future depends
on understanding
what’s happening now.
Better forecasts begin with better observations. But across much of the ocean, the weather changes between the moments we can measure it.
We’re building a way to close those gaps. Small satellites. Repeatable manufacturing. More observations of the world we all depend on.
Why we’re here02 / From one to many
Build a satellite.
Change the scale.
We bring spacecraft design, manufacturing, and operations together to turn individual flight experiments into a repeatable observing system.
Own the whole satellite.
Hardware, software, manufacturing, and operations belong to one team. We carry each experiment from the factory floor to flight.
03 / A fresher view
The world keeps moving.
Our observations should, too.
More frequent measurements can give forecasters a clearer picture of how weather is evolving. Explore the simple idea behind that ambition.

Every hourNowcasting
Fresh data for conditions now.
Forecasting
Observations in time for six-hour forecast cycles.
Science
Frequent measurements to resolve changes over time.
Timing illustration: 17-hour comparison and hourly Veery target. Actual revisit varies with location and constellation; this is not a coverage simulation.
Our first focus: the speed and direction of wind at the ocean’s surface.
Explore ocean-wind observations04 / Learn in orbit
Every mission
moves us forward.
Design. Build. Test. Fly. Feed what we learn into the next iteration.
Flight experiments
Prove the systems, test the radar, and learn from orbit.
Repeatable spacecraft
Scale the architecture around an ocean-wind instrument.
A persistent view
Work toward a constellation and more frequent observations.
05 / The work in progress
Small spacecraft. Real lessons.
Barb
A technology demonstration built to commission and test upgraded systems and explore ocean wind-speed measurements.
Brendon
The fifth test satellite, with guidance improvements intended to accelerate commissioning and first wind measurements.
Veery 1.0
A flat-panel satellite architecture designed to scale the scatterometry demonstrated by earlier iterations.
