HURRICANE HUNTER SATELLITES
Earlier, 2X More Accurate Hurricane Forecast Polar Wind Data to Improve Weather Models
We supply the missing piece to weather forecast models
Solving The Weather Forecast Problem Current weather forecasting models cannot keep up with the pace of climate change and extreme events. Our NanoSats will deliver the missing data set forecasters need to make more accurate and reliable weather predictions.
The Polar Winds interact with the jet streams and drive the majority of weather patterns across the globe. But existing satellites only provide a 2D solution to a 4D problem, measuring winds in just the horizontal axes while vertical winds are sparsely, and poorly, measured by weather balloons and stations. We will leverage our 4D (XYZ + Time) measuring technique to collect wind measurements across all altitudes with greater frequency and higher resolution. This gives forecasters a more accurate starting point to derive their forecasts from.
NanoSatellite constellation delivers earlier, 2X more accurate hurricane forecasts
The Hurricane Problem rising temperatures are making hurricanes more powerful and more frequent. The US is the only country with Hurricane Hunter Aircraft. At a cost of $250M per year to maintain, we can deliver similar observational capability with our satellites to the 20 vulnerable countries at 4% of the costs ($10M per year). We will also aid the US as multiple hurricanes at once as well as mechanical problems prevent timely observations.

Our Mission
To save lives and mitigate damage from hurricanes and other climate related events. Our satellites will help businesses and governments predict, plan, and profit from weather.
Our NASA Award-Winning 4D Solution We have received over $108 million dollars in contracts from NASA, DoD, and private satellite companies to develop and refine our unique 4D measuring technique (X Y Z + Time) of cloud structures as well the proprietary algorithms and advanced modeling that allows us to achieve high-resolution wind velocities and 2X more accurate hurricane forecasts.

Gaps in hurricane monitoring exist all across the globe. The Hurricane Hunter Satellite Constellation is an always-on, global monitoring system that uniquely models wind in 3D.
GLOBAL
Our NanoSats will bring hurricane hunter aircraft accuracy on tropical cyclone intensities to largely uncovered parts of the ocean and 100’s more nations.
POWERFUL
2 NanoSats flying in tandem gather cloud data to generate a 3D model of the storm. This imagery provides unique insights into the intensity and storm path.
PROVEN
For over five years, NASA’s Tropical Cyclone Experiment was performed in support of the CyMISS (Tropical Cyclone intensity Measurements from the ISS).
2D vs 3D a difference you can see
Pictured below is Typhoon Atsani as taken from the International Space Station. The far left image is unprocessed. While the middle and right image have been processed with our 3D measuring technique. Notice the eye of the typhoon far more dynamic and detailed than the standard 2D image. Don't let a pretty picture fool you, our 3D measuring technique reveals a wealth of numerical wind velocity data in the vertical axis that will allow us to delver earlier, 2X more accurate hurricane forecasts.
