Stories about the Earth Observation industry’s eyes on our planet.
This morning, Satellogic ($SATL) announced that it is building two satellites for a Portuguese engineering firm, the Centre of Engineering and Product Development (CEiiA, to use its Portuguese acronym). CEiiA paid $18M for a speedy delivery on its new tech.
The joint venture owned by Finnish EO firm ICEYE and German arms maker Rheinmetall has turned on its money-printing machine.
Even without a satellite in orbit, SatVu is giving investors a behind-the-scenes look at hot spots they’re going to be tracking in the future.
The collaboration positions Indonesia—home to roughly one-fifth of the world’s mangroves—as a high-stakes proving ground for replacing labor intensive field surveys with satellite monitoring.
The volume of EO images has grown exponentially the past decade, but cleaning up, deciphering, and extracting value from these datasets remains manual, expensive, and time-consuming, according to Wherobots officials.
Robust domestic capability across the space domain is a key development priority for Canada. Yesterday, the Canadian government made another commitment toward that goal.
Less than 24 hours after launch, BlackSky’s ($BKSY) latest Gen-3 imaging sat had deployed, captured very high-resolution images from orbit, and sent those images home for delivery into a customer’s hands.
The technology could be used to monitor conflict zones to detect changes in enemy infrastructure or capabilities, identify threats, and surface those insights quickly enough to make an impact.
Muon Space will integrate Starlink’s mini-laser terminals into future iterations of Muon’s Halo satellite platform as soon as 2027.
On Friday, the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which supports both DoD and the intelligence community with imagery collected in orbit, awarded Planet Labs a $12.8M contract through the Luno B program.
Albedo will abandon its imaging business to focus entirely on building VLEO satellite buses for other payload operators.
More than two years after Maxar split into two separate companies, both entities have rebranded to alleviate confusion in the industry and ensure their names reflect their individual missions.
