Hyperfield is a European satellite constellation of Earth observation satellites developed by the Finnish company Kuva Space with the support of VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland[1] and the European Space Agency's InCubed programme.[2] The satellites provide near real-time hyperspectral imaging and perform onboard machine learning data processing.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Hyperfield contributes data to the European Union's Copernicus Programme as a Copernicus Contributing Mission (CCM).[9][10][11] The first satellite of the constellation, Hyperfield-1A, launched in August 2024 on a Falcon 9 rideshare flight.[12][13]
