In the space navigation jargon, the term “flyby” indicates the flight that a spacecraft makes passing close to a planet in order to modify its route towards the final destination, obtaining a significant energy saving. The name “flyby” then identifies the role of “value-added provider” played by the company towards its customers, stressing its contribution in giving them a boost into new and challenging trajectories towards success.

Through the passion for applied research which livens up the company, Flyby develops innovative solutions which contribute to fill the gap which often exists between the scientific activities of research centres and the emerging needs of industries and institutions.

Instruments

Flyby manufactures and sells electro-optical systems for spectral remote sensing in the UV-VIS-NIR range, to measure, for example, solar and artificial radiation, atmospheric components, marine components, soil albedo. The instruments have been intensively tested in the framework of R&D projects in collaboration with research institutes also of European level (e.g. CNR-IFAC, National Research Council – Institute of Applied Physics).

Services

Besides producing and selling optical measuring instruments, Flyby offers peculiar value-added services, which provide for information supply to the final user exploiting remotely sensed optical data from different sources (airborne, satellite, in-situ data), processed by means of specifically developed algorithms and systems .

GIS and webGIS technologies are used for the development of Flyby’s services, together with GPS positioning systems for accurate geolocation of in-situ measurements and for their fusion with remote sensing environmental data.
