An Argentine satellite fellowship has launched a subscription-based service that volition permit customers, including authorities agencies or non-governmental organizations, to buy satellite images over a specified expanse of interest. Satellogic satellites collect both high-resolution images, with 1-meter resolution, as well as hyperspectral images, which tin demonstrate to a greater extent than detailed information nearly objects, such equally their chemic composition. The company’s novel venture, known equally the Dedicated globe Observation Satellite Program, offers access to customized images as well as data. Whether monitoring at the cars-on-roads grade or tracking the environmental effects of a wood fire, alongside other activities, subscribers volition endure able to cause upward one's hear what photos should endure taken. Each entity subscribing to a Satellogic constellation would guide maintain access to 10 satellites over a designated expanse at a terms of nearly $2 ane K one thousand dollars per satellite per year, or $20 ane K one thousand inward full per year, according to Kurt Billick, vice president of strategy as well as trouble concern evolution at Satellogic.
Potential customers mightiness include corporations, NGOs as well as national or regional governments that create non guide maintain the capability to launch their ain satellites, said the company’s founder, Emiliano Kargieman.
The fellowship volition larn into an increasingly crowded satellite imagery infinite which is anchored past times Digital Globe as well as Planet.
Satellogic volition encompass the launch as well as structure costs. Each constellation of 10 satellites would endure able to remap 1 ane K one thousand foursquare kilometers of state every vi weeks, the fellowship said.
Customers would equally good guide maintain access to the larger network of Satellogic satellites, if they postulate it.The satellites launched past times Satellogic volition end betwixt iii as well as 5 years, Kargieman said.
In add-on to the subscription service, all images from Satellogic volition endure commercially available inward accordance with international regulation.
“If you’re Germany, nosotros volition exclusively sell y'all pictures over Germany,” Billick said.
At a roundtable inward Apr at the GEOINT symposium inward Tampa, Florida, NGA Director Robert Cardillo said that he did non believe the government, although a client of commercial satellite imagery companies, should drive the market.
“We guide maintain no meliorate mission partner than the National Reconnaissance Office,” Cardillo said, referring to the news way that focuses on space.
In add-on to selling images over specific areas of interest, Satellogic volition include preparation on how to purpose the images as well as information collected.
The artificial news technology scientific discipline that Satellogic uses identifies objects inward images, but equally good uses the images collected over fourth dimension to runway changes. When images are taken at unlike times of day, for example, shadows may look inward approximately images but non inward others. One challenge AI technology scientific discipline faces is identifying which changes betwixt images are relevant.
Satellogic plans on launching threescore satellites adjacent twelvemonth with an additional 300 launched past times 2022. The satellites are normally launched from Communist People's Republic of China as well as Russia.
