What We Do

Orbital Sidekick’s vision is to lead the Energy Transition by building the most robust remote sensing and analytics capability in existence. OSK’s proprietary analytics platform and hyperspectral payload architecture provide persistent space-based monitoring solutions powered by Spectral Intelligence. This unique radiometric speciation and change detection capability enables unparalleled target monitoring services for both commercial and defense users on a global scale.

OSK recently launched the most advanced commercial hyperspectral satellite in existence: Aurora. Aurora serves OSK’s customers in the energy, mining, and defense sectors, including expanding contracts and pilot program opportunities for oil and gas pipeline monitoring & methane mapping, clean energy resource exploration, sustainable mining practices, and wildfire risk mitigation.

OSK is currently building its GHOSt hyperspectral satellite constellation for deployment in 2022, providing daily target monitoring services to end-users.
