TL;DR

The HOTSAT-1 satellite, which provided unprecedented detail on Earth's surface temperatures, has suffered an anomaly that has rendered its thermal camera inoperable. The satellite's maker and operator, SatVu, is working with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd to assess the problem. Despite the setback, SatVu plans to launch a replacement satellite in 2025 and aims to operate a constellation of temperature-monitoring satellites in the future. The company believes its technology can provide valuable insights into environmental and heat-related phenomena.
