What is Sat-MRV?
Sat-MRV is Spacenus's soil-sampling workflow — Measurement, Reporting, and Verification, guided by satellite data instead of guesswork about where to sample.
What it does for you
Good soil data starts with sampling in the right places, not just convenient ones. Sat-MRV uses satellite-derived stratification to divide an area into zones with meaningfully different characteristics, then builds a statistically sound sampling plan across those zones — so the handful of physical samples you actually collect are representative of the whole area, not just wherever was easiest to reach.
- Areas of Interest define the area you're sampling — one or more of your fields, grouped together.
- Stratification analyzes that area and divides it into zones based on soil and terrain characteristics.
- Sample plans tell your team exactly where within those zones to collect physical samples.
- Samples and soil property records capture what was actually collected and what the lab found, tied back to the exact point it came from.
Why it matters
This is how you turn "we took some soil samples" into a defensible, statistically grounded measurement — the kind of record that holds up for carbon programs, soil-health reporting, or any use case where you need to show not just a number, but that the number was measured properly. It also means fewer samples get you a more representative picture, instead of needing to sample everywhere to be confident in the result.
