Satellite Vu project aims to become ‘Earth’s energy meter’ by detecting building heat from space

Satellite VU, a British space company, is launching satellites equipped with infrared cameras to measure heat emissions from buildings globally. This technology will help organizations reduce energy waste and monitor pollution. The data can identify poorly insulated structures and track river pollution. The first of seven satellites will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, enabling detailed analysis of individual buildings.

What advancements will Satellite VU satellites provide compared to current heat emission surveys?

When is the first satellite of the project scheduled to be launched?
