Open Cosmos leaps towards near real-time Earth monitoring with milestone launch

Open Cosmos successfully launched Posidonia and Hyperion GR-1, the first two satellites of OpenConstellation 1.0, aboard a SpaceX launch. The satellites combine hyperspectral and high-resolution multispectral imaging with onboard AI processing, IoT payloads and inter-satellite links. The company says the constellation is designed to deliver actionable Earth observation intelligence in as little as 30 minutes.
