Vancouver, British Columbia: EarthDaily Analytics, an earth observation company, has successfully launched the first satellite of its groundbreaking EarthDaily Constellation, marking a pivotal milestone in next-generation Earth Observation technology. This achievement signals the rollout of the world’s most advanced Earth Observation system, designed to provide scientifically calibrated daily global imagery combined with cutting-edge AI and analytics for broad-area change detection.
The inaugural satellite, launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-14 rideshare mission, has established first contact with EarthDaily’s ground stations. Telemetry data confirms successful deployment of solar arrays and the satellite’s transition to a safe, power-positive state. This satellite is the first of a planned ten-satellite constellation, with the remaining nine in final assembly and testing phases, expected to be operational by next year.
Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily, emphasized the significance of this launch, “This is not just the start of a constellation; it’s the beginning of a new era in Earth Observation and a clear demonstration of our market readiness. We are not just seeing the world as it is today; we will be predicting what it will be tomorrow. This launch validates our technology and accelerates our path to becoming the leading provider of daily, AI-ready Earth intelligence”.
The EarthDaily Constellation is engineered to deliver consistent, high-resolution daily global coverage across more than 20 spectral bands, including Visible-Near Infrared (VNIR), Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR), and Thermal/Infrared (IR) imaging. This multi-sensor approach enables scientifically calibrated, analysis-ready data optimized for AI and machine learning applications.
Key features of the EarthDaily system include:
- Daily Global Revisit: Ensures timely, reliable imagery for monitoring dynamic changes anywhere on Earth.
- High-Quality Multi-Spectral Data: Provides detailed, calibrated imagery across 22 spectral bands at 5-meter resolution for precise change detection.
- AI-Ready Data: Pre-processed and standardized data facilitates seamless integration with advanced analytics and predictive modeling.
- Broad Area Change Detection: Enables detection of large-scale environmental and infrastructure changes to support smarter decision-making.
EarthDaily’s advanced Earth Observation platform is set to revolutionize multiple high-impact sectors by delivering actionable intelligence that supports operational efficiency, risk mitigation, and sustainability efforts:
- Agriculture: Enhances crop yield optimization, resource management, and agricultural risk assessment.
- Energy & Mining: Monitors infrastructure health, supports resource exploration, and mitigates environmental impacts.
- Spatial Finance: Improves risk modeling, underwriting, and market intelligence.
- Environmental Monitoring & Climate Resilience: Supports carbon tracking, disaster response, and sustainability initiatives.
- Government & Defense: Provides critical data for national security, infrastructure planning, and emergency response.
Chandra Patel, Managing Partner of Antarctica Capital, a key investor in EarthDaily, lauded the launch as “a significant milestone” and highlighted the company’s vision to become a vertically integrated leader leveraging AI-ready data and analytics to deliver high-value insights across industries.
EarthDaily’s constellation is not only a satellite network but an end-to-end geospatial management system. It delivers normalized, science-grade imagery through cloud-native APIs, enabling rapid data delivery and integration into existing workflows. This system supports real-time event detection, predictive analytics, and scalable machine learning pipelines, empowering users to respond swiftly to natural disasters, infrastructure changes, and emerging risks.
Osborne further added, “EarthDaily Constellation is laying the foundation for the future of geospatial analytics and risk mitigation. By delivering consistent, AI-ready data every day, we enable customers to go beyond traditional Earth Observation and harness the full power of data-driven intelligence. This launch is a critical step in transforming how we monitor and understand our planet”.
With the first satellite successfully in orbit, EarthDaily is on track to complete the deployment of its full ten-satellite constellation by next year. This will enable continuous, global daily coverage and position EarthDaily to generate revenues across multiple rapidly growing sectors, solidifying its role as a leader in Earth Observation and AI-driven geospatial intelligence.
