EarthDaily Analytics Begins Deployment of Earth Observation Constellation
EarthDaily Analytics has announced the successful launch and initial contact with the first satellite of its EarthDaily Constellation, initiating the rollout of a new Earth Observation (EO) system. The satellite, now stable and power-positive following solar array deployment, marks a critical milestone in a platform aimed at delivering daily, high-quality multispectral imagery for advanced analytics across multiple industries.
The ten-satellite constellation is expected to become fully operational in 2026, enabling daily global revisit capability designed for applications such as crop monitoring, environmental assessment, and infrastructure planning.
Focus on Agriculture: Daily Insights for Smarter Farming
Monitoring Crop Health and Supporting Resource Management
Among its key application areas, the EarthDaily Constellation targets agriculture with tools for monitoring crop development, optimizing input use, and managing risk related to yield loss or weather events. The platform’s multispectral data will allow for early detection of changes in field conditions, providing actionable information for farmers, agronomists, and agricultural insurers.
The system captures imagery across more than 20 spectral bands, enhancing its capacity to detect subtle changes in plant health, soil moisture, and environmental stressors.
Statement from EarthDaily Analytics Leadership on Market Readiness
Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily Analytics, emphasized the significance of the launch: “This is not just the start of a constellation, it’s the beginning of a new era in Earth Observation… We are not just seeing the world as it is today; we will be predicting what it will be tomorrow.”
Osborne noted that the constellation is built to serve industries that require daily, AI-ready data, including agriculture, where near real-time monitoring has become increasingly vital for managing climate and input-related uncertainties.
Strategic Backing and Broader Applications
Support from Antarctica Capital
Chandra Patel, Managing Partner at Antarctica Capital, highlighted the importance of the milestone for the company’s growth strategy: “We believe the EarthDaily Constellation will catalyze a new chapter in Earth Observation.”
In addition to agriculture, the EO system is expected to serve sectors such as energy, spatial finance, and environmental monitoring, with each satellite equipped with 16 precision-calibrated multi-sensor imagers.
