Bengaluru-based space data startup Pixxel has unveiled the first-ever set of images from its hyperspectral pathfinder satellites as part of its First Light Campaign.
The images released capture intricate details of the land and water features of regions such as the Krishna River Delta (India), the Palm Islands (Dubai), the Super pit (Australia), the Saloum River Delta (Senegal), the Granny Smith Gold mine (Australia), and Brockman (Australia).
Capable of detection, identification and quantification of surface materials as well as biological and chemical processes, these images highlight specific factors such as soil types, mountain ranges, bare lands, gold mines, reservoirs, agricultural farms, delta regions, and urban settlements, among others.

With the objective of ensuring safe travel for women, senior citizens and visiting tourists in Madurai, a new women e-auto programme was launched here on Thursday. Speaking at the launch function, Venkatesan Dhattatreyan, Regional Director, Union Ministry of Tourism, said a city like Madurai, with high heritage value, had ample scope for womenfolk to make their livelihood with decent earnings.
