ASTERRA
ASTERRA is an Israeli private geospatial intelligence startup using satellite analytics to detect underground risk and improve critical infrastructure resilience.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
ASTERRA develops satellite-based analytics that identify subsurface anomalies such as underground water leaks and infrastructure weaknesses. Its platform helps operators prioritize interventions, reduce losses, and improve long-term resilience planning.
The company is privately held and venture-backed, with reported financing rounds supporting expansion. ASTERRA originated in Israel and applies remote sensing and AI to high-impact infrastructure challenges in utilities and public works.
Dual-use relevance is meaningful: satellite-based infrastructure intelligence serves civilian utility operations and can support defense-adjacent planning for base infrastructure, logistics corridors, and strategic asset resilience.
