SpaceX, which designs, manufactures, and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft, has a unique service that allows small satellite owners to share space on its missions.<\/p>\n<p>EOI&#8217;s first satellite, a technology demonstrator, is scheduled to launch in 2023 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. This demonstration mission will allow EOI to test and validate its technology, ensuring the satellite&#8217;s configuration and operational parameters meet the desired mission applications. Providing imagery at a 15 cm (6-inch) ground sample distance will enable EOI to deliver worldwide high-resolution imagery and location data in a timely manner, never previously seen from commercial satellites.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an exciting time for us as EOI will be the first private company to operate in VLEO.&#8221; &#8220;Our first satellite launch is just the beginning of EOI&#8217;s mission to provide the highest resolution commercially available imagery and near real-time data delivery to our government and commercial customers,&#8221; said <strong><\/strong>Christopher Thein, CEO of EOI. &#8220;We look forward to working with SpaceX on additional rideshares as we complete manufacturing of a series of satellite rollouts in the near future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As EOI&#8217;s satellite constellation advances, so will the need to have a trusted and proven launch provider. The SpaceX rideshare program has a track record of success since the program&#8217;s first launch in 2021. The Falcon 9, which will be launching EOI&#8217;s demonstration satellite, has over 160 successful launches. EOI is manifested to launch on board SpaceX&#8217;s Transporter-8 rideshare mission, which will liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in&nbsp;Florida. All these factors weighed into EOI&#8217;s decision to choose SpaceX for the company&#8217;s first satellite launch.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to learn about SpaceX Launch Vehicle Platforms.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kWbjeLmprYc?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EOI Space, a company deploying low-flying small satellites that provide intelligence to government and commercial customers, announced its deal with SpaceX to launch EOI&#8217;s first satellite using the SpaceX rideshare program.
