Satellite Operator Expands Data-As-A-Service Model with AI Applications
Satellogic, an Earth observation satellite operator, has announced a partnership with SpaceKnow, an AI-powered geospatial intelligence analysis company, to build AI applications on top of Satellogic’s growing stock of satellite imagery. This partnership reflects a fundamental shift in Satellogic’s business model, moving away from one-off imagery sales and toward a data-as-a-service model. The company plans to launch its next-gen constellation, Merlin, which will enable global mapping at one-meter resolution. This development was first reported by Payload Space.
