Our Partnership with SSL to Produce 13 Satellites
Monday, February 10, 2014
Today we’re announcing a new partnership with
Space Systems/Loral
(SSL) /
MacDonald, Dettwiler, and Associates, Ltd.
(MDA) to build 13 satellites to be launched in 2015 and 2016. This is a watershed moment for us as we look to scale our constellation – once these are up, we’ll be able to revisit any point on Earth three times per day.
The satellites, which will weigh roughly 120 kilograms each with dimensions of 60x60x95 centimeters, will be built based on our prototypes, designs and specs. Similar to SkySat-1, the satellites built by SSL will capture
sub-meter color imagery
and up to 90-second clips of
HD video
with 30 frames per second.
We will continue to prototype new generation systems in-house while leveraging SSL/MDA's production capabilities to deploy our constellation with greater speed and cost efficiency.
