Skyloom, one of the leaders in space-based telecommunications, announced that it has signed an agreement with Satellogic, a company in submeter Earth Observation data and satellite technology. The agreement details plans to integrate Skyloom\u2019s Optical Communications Terminal onto Satellogic satellites.<\/p>\n
Utilizing Skyloom\u2019s OCT, Satellogic will test new methods of high-resolution EO data delivery through both SkyCompass-1, the geostationary-based (GEO) laser communication network infrastructure Skyloom developed with its partner, Space Compass, and direct downlink to a gateway within view of the low altitude image area, significantly decreasing latency. As a first step in its commissioning, the Satellogic spacecraft will conduct a low earth orbit (LEO)-to-ground link by handshaking with Skyloom\u2019s optical ground station in Broomfield, Colorado. The Satellogic-Skyloom agreement follows a feasibility study on the ability of Satellogic\u2019s Mark-V platform to establish laser communication links.<\/p>\n
Together with Space Compass, Skyloom recently conducted the Critical Design Review for the SkyCompass-1 optical communications network infrastructure, including space, ground, user, and network segments, which will begin providing network services in 2025.<\/p>\n
Satellogic designs, manufactures, and operates its own constellation of submeter EO satellites. With more than a decade of experience in space, Satellogic has proven technology and a strong track record of delivering satellites to orbit and high-resolution data to customers at the right price point. It has successfully completed 15 missions to date and aims to reach 200+ satellites in orbit for daily global remaps. Satellogic\u2019s preferred rideshare launch partner is SpaceX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
