Wyvern is making something big. Our vision is to provide actionable intelligence from space, anywhere in the solar system. To achieve this we need to entirely reimagine how satellite Earth observation is done.

We are a rapidly growing space company in Western Canada, powered by humans who are passionate about space and building a better Earth, from space.

If you’re excited by the prospect of  being part of the space industry and want to operate satellites that makes a difference now…
