Stellerus Technology Ltd, a deep-tech company specialized in advanced satellite constellations and AI‑powered meteorology and climate intelligence, has announced that Gobi Partners’ investment will accelerate the development of its flagship satellite constellation program and drive the rollout of its broader portfolio of satellite‑based climate tech solutions.
This will further expand the company’s technology footprint and customer reach across the region and beyond.
The flagship satellite constellation aims to deploy the world’s first satellite constellation purpose-built for high-accuracy, high‑resolution 3D wind mapping, closing a critical gap in today’s weather and climate intelligence.
By fusing proprietary satellite data with in‑house AI models, the Stellerus team will generate high‑resolution, actionable climate insights and deliver them as climate tech products and solutions for governments, enterprises, and infrastructure operators. The offerings will cover advanced weather forecasting, climate risk analytics, and decision-support tools, alongside a growing suite of applications for urban climate monitoring, extreme weather early warning, energy and industrial operations, and smart city systems, helping stakeholders better manage climate uncertainty while advancing sustainability and resilience objectives.
Stellerus was founded by Su Hui, also chairwoman of the firm. She is Chair Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), focusing on satellite remote sensing, meteorology, and climate science. She has an international reputation in atmospheric and Earth observation research and actively promotes the translation and cross-sector application of scientific research. Su previously served as chief scientist at NASA, leading and contributing to multiple international satellite and climate research projects, including 22 NASA/NOAA/DOE projects. Her work has been published in top journals such as Nature Communications, PNAS, and JGR-ML.
In recent years, Su and her team have focused on commercializing climate and space technology, founding Stellerus to translate research into practical applications for climate risk management and sustainable development, while expanding the market applications of satellite meteorology and climate solutions, earning broad recognition from both investors and industry.
Chibo Tang, managing partner of Gobi Partners, emphasized the strategic alignment between Stellerus and Gobi Partners’ investment focus. “Stellerus Technology exemplifies the type of deep-tech innovation that Gobi Partners seeks to support. Its AI-enabled satellite meteorology capabilities, particularly its flagship satellite constellation, have the potential to redefine how cities and industries anticipate and respond to weather and climate risks. We are pleased to partner with Stellerus and support its continued growth across Asia and beyond.”
The support from Gobi Partners marks an important milestone for the company Su said.
“This partnership reflects strong confidence in Stellerus’ technological vision and execution capabilities. Through Project Feilian and our advanced satellite meteorology solutions, we aim to translate cutting-edge research into practical, AI-driven tools that help cities and industries manage climate risks more effectively. With the support of Gobi Partners, we look forward to accelerating the real-world deployment and creating long-term global impact.”
Shin Cheul Kim, associate vice-president for Research and Development (Knowledge Transfer) at HKUST and CEO of Redbird Innovation Fund Limited, highlighted the importance of the university’s role in creating innovation with industry partners.
“HKUST is deeply committed to transforming world-class research into solutions that deliver tangible societal and economic value. Supporting Stellerus through the Gobi-Redbird Innovation Fund exemplifies our mission to accelerate technology transfer and commercialization. The flagship satellite constellation demonstrates how university-originated research can evolve into scalable solutions addressing global climate and environmental challenges.”
Stellerus is collaborating with partners from both the public and private sectors to deploy satellite-based meteorological intelligence in areas such as smart city management, infrastructure planning, and industrial operations. With the backing of Gobi Partners, the company plans to further strengthen product development, broaden business-to-business adoption, and advance the commercialization of its solutions in regional and international markets.
