COMPANY PROFILE
Satellite-based infrastructure intelligence
Summary
ASTERRA is a world leader in S.A.R. (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite-based infrastructure intelligence. The company’s patented algorithms for the detection of soil moisture types below ground bring to the market the only intelligence of this kind. By analyzing S.A.R. imagery, ASTERRA collects hard, actionable data, which it puts in the hands of ground crews, planners, and engineers. Since its inception, ASTERRA has expanded its product line from “Recover” for water leak detection to include “Masterplan” for long-term water infrastructure planning and “Earthworks” for ground engineering intelligence across multiple verticals.

History
The core technology on which ASTERRA is based was first applied in the search for underground water on Mars and other planets. Lauren Guy, the geophysicist and entrepreneur who developed the approach, quickly recognized that if it could work so far away, it could be even more effective here on Earth. Mr. Guy co-founded Utilis (now known as ASTERRA) in 2013 to develop applications for the new technology.
