Australia spends an annual $5.3 billion on satellite observation to provide data for national industries such as defence, mining, oil & gas, agriculture, and finance. However, there are many problems associated with satellite imaging.Rainbow Python tackles the satellite imaging problems by utilising Spiral Blue’s Space Edge 1 Hyperspectral (SE-1H) to analyse stored hyperspectral data cubes while Esper’s Over The Rainbow high resolution hyperspectral imager (OTR) will attempt to capture these datacubes. Rainbow Python will be Australia’s first hyperspectral mission. See
