A game-changer for Geospatial Analysis | Aurora launch | Pixxel

One Platform, Endless Possibilities

Aurora brings open-source Earth Observation datasets, ready-to-use models and indices, and Pixxel’s hyperspectral imagery together in one unified workspace. Its no-code interface and customisable workflows remove the friction of traditional GIS tools.

From Raw Imagery to Real Insight

Draw or upload an area of interest, tap a huge imagery archive, run AI/ML models, and view spectral and temporal graphs — surfacing one-click insights without writing a line of code.

Spectral indices visualised in Aurora

Visualise 20+ Spectral Indices

Apply preset indices such as NDVI and NDWI, build your own custom indices and composites, and compare scenes side by side with the split-compare view.

Solutions Across Industries

Aurora adapts to diverse industry needs, delivering the precision required for monitoring, compliance and resource management — and making it easy to integrate satellite data into core operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Aurora by Pixxel?

Aurora is Pixxel’s Earth Observation Studio — a no-code, cloud platform to access, explore, analyse and automate satellite data without specialised GIS software.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Aurora runs entirely in your browser, with optional API access for automation and integration.

What satellite data can I use?

Aurora combines open-source and commercial Earth Observation datasets with Pixxel’s own hyperspectral imagery in one place.

Is Aurora really no-code?

Yes. You can draw an area of interest, apply indices and models, and build drag-and-drop workflows with no programming required.

Can I task a satellite or only use archives?

Both. You can browse archive imagery or task Pixxel’s imaging sensors over a defined area of interest (up to 5,000 km²).
