It supports a range of applications, including agri-tech, smart cities, infrastructures monitoring (e.g.: water, oil &amp; gas, electrical), maritime transportation and transport\/logistic in general, environmental monitoring (e.g.: wildfires, contaminant spillage), cattle management, research and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to start this collaboration with Momentus, which will allow us to launch an additional nine picosats shortly and permit us to anticipate our road map of the deployment of a global telecommunication service for the Internet of Things,\u201d said Apogeo CEO and co-founder Guido Parissenti. \u201cSince our first deployment of satellites, data can be retrieved from IoT devices anywhere in the world. We anticipate full coverage will be achieved by 2027 with almost 100 satellites with successive launches approximately every 3 months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIoT satellites are a model of using space to benefit life on Earth,\u201d said Momentus Chief Commercial Officer Chris Kinman. \u201cUse of the Momentus Orbital Service Vehicle is an efficient and effective way to support the deployment of large satellite constellations like Apogeo\u2019s.
