Focusing the Future

About us

SuperSharp is an Earth-imaging company developing unfolding space telescopes to capture high-resolution thermal infrared (TIR) images of the Earth. Our technology allows us to fit a large telescope in a small satellite, making low-cost, high-resolution, and frequent Earth-imaging possible. This makes powerful TIR space telescopes much more affordable while achieving 4x greater resolution per unit cost than the current state-of-the-art solutions. The images captured by our space telescopes can be used for applications such as tackling climate change, crop monitoring, and maintaining global security. We are determined to offer high-quality affordable Earth-imaging solutions to empower our world in responding to global change.

    🗣️ Prioritizing Mental Health in the Workplace 🧠 Today is World Mental Health Day and it’s important we talk about it. At SuperSharp, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. In today's fast-paced environment, balancing the demands of work and personal life can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re committed to creating a culture that prioritizes mental well-being. We have recently signed up to the Mental Health at Work Commitment from Mind and we continue to develop initiatives that encourage the visualisation of mental well-being in the workplace. We’re committed to fostering a stigma-free environment where employees can openly discuss mental health challenges. With flexible work options, access to wellness resources and open communication about mental health challenges. We want to ensure our team has the support they need to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Our aim is to build a supportive environment where mental health is recognized as a priority. Small acts of kindness and empathy go a long way! Remember, it’s okay to seek help. Let's continue to foster an environment where everyone feels supported and valued. 💙 #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #SupportEachOther #EmployeeWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare #WorldMentalHealthDay

    Case Study: Maritime 🐟 ⛴ 10 to 23.5 billion USD are lost annually from illegal fishing. Big losses from big illegal fishing activity. Current optical technology is greatly limited by visibility. At nighttime ships disappear, and illegal vessels can be hidden by clouds or mistaken for waves. ☁️ 🌊   With our infrared telescopes, owing to the sea’s nearly homogenous temperature, vessels can be easily spotted, hence alleviating the challenges of optical imaging technology. This is the next step for making our oceans safer and combatting illegal fishing! The biggest challenge to TIR is the current lack of frequency, that is the core issue that SuperSharp aims to solve, high resolution at high frequencies! 🛰 Want to get involved in the TIR revolution?
