The InnerPlant imaging device is scheduled to launch in Q1 of 2024 and its deployment will mark the first time in history that a signal from a human-engineered organism is detected from orbit.
The specially designed imaging instrument is scheduled to be mounted to a Satellogic satellite and is intended to detect optical signals emitted by crops engineered by InnerPlant to fluoresce in response to stress such as an attack from pathogens or a lack of water or nutrients.
According to a Sept. 19 report from TechCrunch, InnerPlant — a startup recoding plant DNA, allowing the plant to emit a signal that can be detected remotely — recently completed $16 million in Series A funding, which included a contribution from John Deere.
