CyanoSat is the first Australian-designed and built hyperspectral imager designed to monitor water quality on Earth.

Hyperspectral imaging analyses the composition of materials and is being used by the CSIRO to differentiate harmful cyanobacteria from other algae in coastal and inland water bodies.

In this episode, Dr Stephen Gensemer, who led the project, talks about how advancements in space can improve life on Earth.
