Albedo is looking at Mars! 👀 Thanks to a grant from NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, we will be studying how to adapt our Earth-imaging, VLEO satellites and space-ground software systems to image the surface of the Red Planet. We’re proud to be sharing more with NASA about how we can help promote higher-frequency, lower-cost missions for domestic and international scientific objectives. The next few decades of collaborative public/private space exploration will be an exciting time, and we’re stoked to play a part in it! https://lnkd.in/gqWspe7V

Capturing aerial-quality imagery from VLEO.
About us
Albedo is developing low-flying satellites that will capture visible and thermal imagery at the highest resolution commercially available. By making aerial quality imagery globally available, easy to purchase, and transparent to task, we aim to catalyze market growth and spur new applications. The world is rapidly changing and a new level of visibility and transparency is required to solve some of our largest problems. Albedo’s 10cm visible and 2m thermal imagery will fuel insights for industries such as mapping, insurance, utilities, solar, agriculture, carbon offsets, infrastructure sustainability, national security, and much more.

This past Monday, the Albedo team revealed our integrated VLEO spacecraft, the Precision Platform. This specialized bus represents the foundation of Albedo's approach to capturing ultra high-resolution imagery, commercializing VLEO, and is now ready for the final pre-launch milestones. As part of the reveal, US Senator John Hickenlooper (CO) signed and built a section of Clarity-1's solar array! During his keynote, the Senator emphasized the "direct bearing" that Albedo's 10-centimeter imagery has on the National Security mission. And, of course, the mic drop from Dan Goldin: "This is a really big deal, and you've done a really good thing, the whole team here. I don't think people understand the importance of VLEO, and its potential, because cost, performance, and safety are all involved"

3 years isn't a long time in space, but the momentum China has built up is impossible to ignore. Albedo firmly believes in our commercial value to various global industries, but also in the value of a US-based, innovative capability to the US government. We are confident large sats in VLEO will cement the US as a global leader in multiple categories, including EO and LWIR. Kudos to Kari Bingen, David Gauthier, and Madeleine Chang for putting this together!
Who took home gold in commercial remote sensing? Check out our report, "Gold Rush: The 2024 Commercial Remote Sensing Global Olympics," a collaboration between Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Taylor Geospatial Institute, Taylor Geospatial Engine, and United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), and join our discussion at 1:00 PM ET today/October 1, 2024, at CSIS and online (www.csis.org/events). The report highlights the dynamicism in the sector, the advances by U.S. and allied companies, inroads China continues to make, and the stakes involved. "Should any one country dominate the commercial remote sensing market, not only could it gain economic advantages, but it would also control the information narrative about the entire planet." https://lnkd.in/ebUD8kbg

NIIRS. Another acronym in the backlog of "I don’t know what this means but it’s far too late to ask”. Don't worry, Albedo's got you 😉 Read our blog post to get a primer on image quality and how the NIIRS scale helps to objectively quantify the subjective. Plus, what you can and cannot see at the different ratings - and what is impractical to do from space ($$$). You're on your own for the billion other acronyms, though.
What is NIIRS?

Quick question: Do you know what ITAR is? How about NIST 800-171? Well, I don't (Winston I'm kidding, don't bring this up in our 1:1 please). Regardless, I'm likely not a great candidate for our Senior IT / Security Engineer opening. But, if those terms are familiar to you and you've wanted to take all of your fancy IT/security experience and get into a space startup - nows your chance! We'll even help to relocate you to Denver!

The first image we've officially captured with our visible sensor is of a dollar bill. If that isn't auspicious, I don't know what is? Read our September Newsletter for more Clarity-1 progress, fun photos, and what the infamous Whole Earth Catalog has to do with Albedo.
