ABB – ABB infrared camera on Hydrosat satellite delivers strong results and is set to enhance water scarcity insights with next launch

• In 2024, ABB’s infrared camera on board Hydrosat’s VanZyl-1 satellite sucessfully generated thermal imaging to support data to help governments and private sector stakeholders to address water stress in agriculture
• VanZyl-1 carries a unique calibration device that allows to precisely measure the soil temperature from 500 km above
• This summer, a second infrared camera sibling will equip Hydrosat’s VanZyl-2 satellite to provide high-accuracy temperature-sensing information

ABB is collaborating with Hydrosat, a company leveraging thermal satellite data and AI to address critical global challenges in food production, security, and natural resource management to develop and manufacture propriety infrared cameras that generate accurately calibrated surface temperature maps, helping to tackle water scarcity.
