VIREON is a British constellation of Earth observation satellites developed by the Glasgow-based company AAC Clyde Space with the support of the UK Space Agency (UKSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA).[1][2][3] VIREON's goal is to provide near-real time images monitoring crops, forests, and water resources for increasing productivity and reducing environmental impact of agriculture, forestry, and land management.[4][5][6] The first satellites of the constellation, two 16U CubeSats, were launched to low Earth orbit in March 2026 on the Transporter-16 mission of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.[4][7][8]
