EarthDaily announced successful contact with satellite EDC-08 following its 7 July launch aboard SpaceX's Transporter-17 mission. The deployment brings the EarthDaily Constellation to eight satellites, the number required for commercial operations. Each spacecraft carries 16 imagers collecting data across 22 spectral bands. Seven satellites are progressing through commissioning and returning initial imagery. The constellation is designed to deliver daily global land coverage for monitoring change across defence, agriculture, natural resources, climate resilience, and infrastructure. The system features controlled geometric and radiometric calibration and spectral alignment with Sentinel and Landsat archives. CEO Don Osborne said the system is performing as expected, with satellites contributing to a common measurement system built for broad-area monitoring and AI-driven analysis.

EarthDaily partners with Geospatial Intelligence to strengthen Earth observation capabilities in Australia. EarthDaily May 25, 2026 8:30:01 AM EarthDaily and Geospatial Intelligence Pty Ltd are pleased to announce a new partnership to expand access to science-grade Earth observation data and analytics for customers across Australia. The partnership combines Geospatial Intelligence's deep understanding of the Australian market and expertise in geospatial intelligence, analytics, and government-focused solutions with EarthDaily's next-generation Earth observation constellation and change detection capabilities. The collaboration comes at an important stage in EarthDaily's development. With seven satellites now in orbit, including six deployed through SpaceX in May 2026, the EarthDaily constellation is preparing to move into commercial operations in the second half of 2026. Through this partnership, Australian customers will gain local access to EarthDaily's calibrated Earth observation data and analytics, supported by Geospatial Intelligence's experience serving government and industry across Australia. Together, the companies will support Australian organizations seeking timely, reliable Earth observation intelligence for operational planning, monitoring, and decision-making. A Shared Commitment to Actionable Earth Intelligence Based in Canberra, Geospatial Intelligence brings deep experience helping Australian government and industry customers turn satellite, sensor, and geospatial data into decision-ready information. Its local market understanding and strengths in high-resolution satellite imaging, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and domain-specific geospatial solutions align closely with EarthDaily's mission to deliver consistent, calibrated Earth observation data for operational use. The EarthDaily Constellation is designed to provide daily, global, multispectral imagery at 5-meter resolution across 22 spectral bands, spanning visible, near-infrared, shortwave infrared, and thermal infrared wavelengths. Built for consistency across time, geography, and sensors, EarthDaily's data is intended to support reliable monitoring, time-series analysis, and AI-driven workflows at scale. EarthDaily's data products have achieved CEOS Analysis Ready Data (CEOS-ARD) compliance, making EarthDaily the first commercial Earth observation constellation to reach this standard. For customers in Australia, this means access to data designed for reliable analysis across applications such as environmental monitoring, infrastructure, agriculture, natural resources, defense, and security. Why This Partnership Matters for Australia The collaboration brings together EarthDaily's global Earth observation infrastructure and Geospatial Intelligence's local market expertise, giving Australian organizations a practical way to adopt consistent, analysis-ready satellite data in operational workflows. Australian customers will benefit from: * Consistent, daily 5-meter imagery designed to support monitoring and operational planning across Australia and the broader Indo-Pacific region * AI-ready Earth observation data structured for integration into advanced analytics and decision-support workflows * Local support from Geospatial Intelligence's Canberra-based team, with experience delivering geospatial solutions for government and mission-focused customers Geospatial Intelligence's strong presence in Canberra reinforces the city's standing as a national hub for geospatial intelligence. The partnership complements the work of leading agencies such as those which are part of the Australian Commonwealth Government and aligns with national priorities for resilience, security, and technological sovereignty. With EarthDaily moving toward commercial operations in the second half of 2026, the partnership gives Australian organizations a trusted local channel to access EarthDaily's science-grade data and change detection capabilities through Geospatial Intelligence.

EarthDaily selected by national Reconnaissance Office (NRO) for commercial optical Earth observation contract. May 05, 2026 MAPLE GROVE, Minn., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - EarthDaily Analytics (EarthDaily) today announced it has been selected by the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to support the use of commercial multispectral Earth observation imagery under the Strategic Commercial Enhancements (SCE) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO). The contract, valued at $1.2 million, underscores the growing role of commercial providers in supporting U.S. government mission needs. EarthDaily will provide scientifically calibrated multispectral imagery and remote sensing capabilities via modeling, simulation, and data evaluation, leveraging the EarthDaily Constellation currently on orbit as well as additional satellites launching throughout 2026, EarthDaily will demonstrate its capabilities through end-to-end tasking, collection, and product dissemination, and respond to product ordering and delivery requests from the NRO and its partners. "This selection reflects a broader shift toward integrating commercially available, high-quality Earth observation data into operational decision-making," said Eric von Eckartsberg, Chief Revenue Officer, EarthDaily. "Our focus is on delivering consistent, trusted measurement that enables faster, more confident decisions in complex environments." The award represents an important step in establishing a scalable contracting framework for future U.S. government demand, positioning EarthDaily to support a wider range of mission applications as commercial Earth observation becomes increasingly embedded in national security workflows. The selection aligns with the EarthDaily Constellation, a next-generation optical Earth observation system designed to deliver daily global coverage across 22 spectral bands, with full operational capability expected later this year. The constellation is purpose-built for broad-area change detection, enabling repeatable, consistent measurement at scale and supporting AI-ready analytics for both government and commercial users. Through this award, EarthDaily continues to expand its role as a trusted commercial provider of Earth observation data and analytics, supporting national security and other high-impact applications. About EarthDaily EarthDaily is a global Earth observation company focused on delivering science-grade data and analytics designed for broad-area change detection and decision-centric intelligence. With the EarthDaily Constellation, the company is building a foundation for daily, globally consistent Earth intelligence to support governments and enterprises operating in complex, high-impact environments.
