Newsletter Q1-2023

We are proud to announce our partnership with SkyFi, a leading provider of Earth observation (EO) data. This integration will allow SkyFi to expand its virtual constellation of satellites and will enable SkyFi customers to task Satellogic images through its web and mobile app.

SkyFi customers will gain access to the best possible EO data, unlocking a market of individuals and small businesses who have previously not had access to such technology and data. Priority Tasking will also be a feature allowing users to task and receive a New Image order within 24 hours.

Following our agreement with the Republic of Albania, on December 13th, we announced the signing of a letter of intent with the Agencia Espacial Mexicana (AEM), Mexico’s Space Agency, to develop a Constellation-as-a-Service program. The letter proposes a program designed to help AEM monitor approximately 2 million square kilometers across the nation and support the dissemination of critical data for multi-purpose use.

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.
