Pioneering the Future
of Global Weather Forecasting
With Tomorrow-R1 and Tomorrow-R2, the world’s first commercial weather radar satellites now in orbit, Tomorrow.io is set to revolutionize global weather forecasting. Our first-of-its-kind constellation will democratize access to weather data, empowering organizations to navigate an increasingly unpredictable weather and climate landscape.
Unveiling an Unprecedented Look at Earth’s Atmosphere
Our radar technology, now actively operational on our Pathfinder satellites, provides unparalleled global precipitation coverage. The future deployments of additional radar satellites and our microwave sounders will enhance these capabilities, recording additional precipitation measurements, vital atmospheric temperature profiles, water vapor profiles, and offering additional precipitation data proxies. Together, these technologies form the backbone of our cutting-edge weather forecasting system.
The Global Radar Gap
More than 70 years after radar was invented, more than 5 billion people still live outside of weather radar coverage making even the most basic forecasts a dream for the vast majority of humanity.
The World’s First Space-Based Commercial Weather Network
With successful launches under our belt, our breakthrough Low-Earth-Orbit constellation will:
