British startup SatVu has officially restarted its commercial operations with the launch of HotSat-2 on June 29, 2026. This marks a significant milestone for the company after its initial satellite experienced failure in low Earth orbit in 2023.
The introduction of HotSat-2 is expected to bolster SatVu's thermal imaging capabilities, allowing the company to enhance its service offerings in the commercial sector.
Despite the challenges faced with its debut satellite, SatVu's return to revenue-generating operations highlights its resilience and commitment to advancing thermal imaging technology.
