Imaging Technology (PAIS) That Allows Very High Resolution Visable Imagery (10cm) from Low-Cost Satellites

Satellite imagery with a resolution of 10 cm is currently not commercially available. Such a high resolution can only be achieved with very expensive satellites, which cannot be scaled up to a cost-effective constellation with global monitoring capabilities.

Remondo is developing an innovative imaging technology that can achieve this very high resolution (10 cm) using low-cost satellites in LEO. While the best commercial satellites currently have a resolution of 30 cm and exceed costs of several hundred million EUR, the cost of a single satellite in this case is 2 orders of magnitude lower. This makes it possible to build a large constellation that can provide global, persistent monitoring for multiple applications. This will break the current boundaries of the entire Earth observation market and thus enables new applications.

Benefits:

• High-resolution satellite imagery (10 cm) at a cost saving of 2 orders of magnitude per satellite compared to current approaches
• Enabling the cost-efficient establishment of a global satellite constellation for daily coverage of high-accuracy Earth observation data
• Facilitation of new applications and use cases with Earth observation data
