HySpecIQ

HySpecIQ is an American commercial hyperspectral Earth observation company developing high-resolution satellite imagery for critical minerals exploration, precision agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the company is building a constellation of satellites capturing hundreds of spectral bands across visible, near-infrared, and shortwave infrared wavelengths — enabling users to identify specific minerals, vegetation types, contaminants, and chemical signatures that RGB or multispectral satellites cannot detect.

HySpecIQ targets the growing critical minerals market, where governments and mining companies are using satellite data to identify lithium, cobalt, copper, and rare earth deposits remotely before committing to expensive ground surveys. The company serves mining companies, agricultural operators, environmental agencies, and government intelligence customers.
