About

SkyFi is a comprehensive Earth observation and geospatial intelligence platform designed to democratize access to satellite data. It aggregates imagery and analytics from top-tier providers including Vantor (WorldView constellation), ICEYE (SAR), and Planet (SkySat), enabling users to search, task, purchase, and analyze satellite data in a single interface. The platform supports a wide range of data types—optical, multispectral, hyperspectral, stereo, and SAR—catering to diverse analytical needs. SkyFi Analytics transforms raw imagery into actionable insights through tools like object detection, hyperspectral signature analysis, and commodity stockpile measurement. For maritime operations, it merges satellite, terrestrial, and shipborne AIS feeds to enable vessel tracking, anomaly detection, and dark-ship identification. SkyFi also offers a free Open Data program providing satellite datasets for agriculture, urban planning, and disaster management. Field operators can leverage the ATAK Plugin for live tasking and real-time situational awareness. The platform is built for transparency, with lowest-in-market pricing, no large minimum orders, and no hidden sales barriers. SkyFi is ideal for defense and intelligence analysts, agricultural and environmental scientists, logistics and maritime security teams, urban planners, and researchers who need reliable, high-resolution Earth observation data without enterprise procurement friction.

Key Features

Multi-Provider Satellite Tasking: Task satellites from providers like Vantor, ICEYE, and Planet SkySat for future captures or browse decades of archive imagery—all in a few clicks.
Advanced Geospatial Analytics: Run object detection, hyperspectral signature analysis, and commodity stockpile measurement directly on the platform to turn raw imagery into actionable intelligence.
Maritime AIS Data & Dark-Ship Tracking: Unify satellite, terrestrial, and shipborne AIS feeds for global vessel tracking, anomaly detection, and dark-ship identification for security and logistics missions.
Free Open Data Program: Access comprehensive free satellite datasets suitable for agriculture monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management without any purchase required.
ATAK Plugin for Field Operations: Bring live satellite tasking and analytics to field operators via the SkyFi ATAK Plugin, enabling real-time situational awareness in mission-critical environments.

Use Cases

Monitoring agricultural fields for crop health, irrigation status, and yield estimation using multispectral and hyperspectral satellite imagery.
Tracking global vessel activity, detecting anomalies, and identifying dark ships for maritime security and logistics compliance.
Assessing infrastructure damage and coordinating disaster response efforts with near-real-time satellite and SAR imagery.
Measuring commodity stockpiles such as coal, grain, or oil for commodity trading intelligence and supply chain analysis.
Supporting urban planning and development tracking by monitoring construction progress, land use change, and population growth over time.

Pros

Transparent, Low-Barrier Pricing: Lowest-in-market pricing starting at $5 with no large minimum orders, making professional-grade satellite data accessible to teams of any size.
All-in-One Platform: Consolidates data access, satellite tasking, archive search, and analytics in a single interface—eliminating the need for multiple vendor relationships.
Diverse Sensor & Data Types: Supports optical, SAR, multispectral, hyperspectral, and stereo imagery from multiple top-tier constellation providers for maximum analytical flexibility.
Free Open Data Access: The open data program provides genuinely free satellite data for common use cases, lowering the cost of entry for researchers and NGOs.

Cons

Niche, Specialized Use Case: The platform is purpose-built for geospatial and Earth observation workflows—it is not suited for general-purpose data or business analytics needs.
Geospatial Expertise Required: Getting full value from SAR data, hyperspectral analysis, and advanced analytics requires domain knowledge in remote sensing and geospatial science.
Costs Can Scale Quickly: While entry pricing is low, high-frequency tasking, premium resolutions (e.g., 30 cm Vantor), and large-area analytics can become expensive at enterprise scale.
