Satellogic’s Aleph-1 Constellation Reaches 30 Satellites in Orbit
Aboard the SpaceX Transporter-6 mission, completed on January 3rd, 2023, four NewSat satellites were successfully delivered to a sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit. This deployment includes the “Albania-1” and “Albania-2” satellites, which are now supporting the Republic of Albania per its 3-year constellation-as-a-service agreement.
Three of the four launched spacecraft are updated Satellogic NewSat Mark IV-G models, each carrying an edge node-hosted payload. The fourth satellite is Satellogic’s next-generation NewSat Mark V-B model, a more cost-effective spacecraft carrying a new iteration of a multispectral and hyperspectral camera.
“This launch advances the technology and resources that are the hallmark of our constellation-as-a-service model to democratize access to low-orbit data for commercial organizations and governments around the world,” said Matt Tirman, CCO of Satellogic. Satellogic customers will benefit from increased capacity and frequency, with a rate of up to 7 daily revisits over select points of interest.
We expect our second launch to be scheduled for Q2. Stay tuned for details.
