NASA's Earth Science Division (ESD) established the Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) program to explore the potential of commercial satellite data in advancing the agency's Earth science research and application objectives. The program aims to identify, assess, and acquire data from commercial providers, which may offer a cost-effective means of supplementing Earth observations collected by NASA, other U.S. government agencies, and international collaborators. 

Pixxel delivers high quality hyperspectral data and transformative insights by spectrally fingerprinting Earth through its cutting-edge constellation of hyperspectral imaging satellites. With a mission to build a health monitor for the planet, Pixxel aims to revolutionize how we understand and interact with Earth observation data. 

During this NASA CSDA program vendor webinar, speakers will introduce Pixxel and the company’s hyperspectral satellite constellation; show participants how to discover, access, and work with Pixxel products; and speak to how these data products complement NASA Earth science data holdings for research and applications. Participants will learn how hyperspectral data can support research and applications such as vegetation classification and health, soil moisture, water quality, and more.
