This new approach caters to entities seeking sovereign Earth-observation capabilities without the full burden of satellite development and operation. The company is actively developing and deploying constellations for clients like EarthDaily Analytics and through joint ventures such as Altair, incorporating advanced sensors and onboard AI processing.
