First two OpenConstellation 1.0 satellites successfully reach orbit
90 FOMOOpen Cosmos deployed the first two satellites of its OpenConstellation 1.0 Earth observation system. Posidonia and Hyperion GR-1 launched aboard SpaceX and entered orbit successfully. The satellites combine hyperspectral and multispectral imaging with onboard AI processing and inter-satellite connectivity. Open Cosmos says the system can reduce delivery times for actionable intelligence from as much as 48 hours to 30 minutes.
Why it matters
This is a major transition from constellation plans to operational infrastructure. The combination of imaging, onboard processing and communications could differentiate Open Cosmos from conventional Earth observation data providers.
The numbers
The company has today successfully launched the first two satellites of OpenConstellation 1.0.
SourceCapable of capturing up to 3 million square kilometres of EO data per day.
SourceWhere before actionable intelligence was typically delivered in 48 hours.
