Kuva Space and WWF‑Indonesia launch hyperspectral satellite trial to map Indonesia's blue carbon

Kuva Space and WWF‑Indonesia have launched a first‑of‑its‑kind pilot using hyperspectral satellite data to map and quantify Indonesia's blue carbon — coastal mangroves, seagrasses and tidal wetlands. The trial aims to produce a satellite‑based baseline for asset valuation, monitoring and carbon accounting to support conservation and policy efforts.

What Hype is tracking

  • The project produces the first satellite‑based dataset to map and quantify Indonesia’s blue carbon (mangroves, seagrasses, tidal wetlands), creating a baseline for monitoring, asset valuation and carbon accounting.
  • It illustrates growing commercial demand for specialized Earth‑observation services and environmental data products, following Kuva Space's recent in‑orbit 75 GHz mmWave demonstration (https://hype.aero/?story=8ec9ed9b-e6b2-4f2e-aa2f-5b7cdc59a17e) and alongside new high‑resolution EO launches such as KOMPSAT‑7 (https://hype.aero/?story=92a7de8e-97db-44b3-804d-bc0e96222222).
