-6%Satellogic reported record third-quarter revenue of $16 million, up 342% from a year earlier, driven by satellite deliveries and higher data contract volumes. The Earth observation company posted its second straight quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, at $1.2 million. After the quarter ended, it signed a roughly $37 million sovereign satellite agreement, its largest to date. Satellogic also cited more than $550 million in qualified opportunities, which are prospective deals, not signed contracts. Operating loss narrowed to $2.3 million from $8.1 million. The company ended September with $106.5 million in cash and free cash flow of negative $11.7 million. Its first Merlin satellite launched on October 1, but most revenue from the programme is not expected until 2028.
Satellogic and HEO sign three-year Non-Earth Imaging agreement, extending a six-year working Relationship. Seven-Figure Annual Minimum Commitment Builds on a Relationship that Started with an Image of the International Space Station in 2020 and Has Grown More than 40-Fold HEO used Satellogic's NewSat 46, from a distance of 17.22 km with an image resolution of 3 cm/px, to capture this image of AST's BlueWalker 3 satellite on October 24, 2026. ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), the infrastructure company for Persistent Global Intelligence (PGI), and HEO, a space intelligence company that images and analyzes objects in orbit on demand, today announced a three-year agreement under which Satellogic will provide HEO access to its high-resolution constellation to conduct Non-Earth Imaging (NEI) and generate insights, supporting space domain awareness globally. The recently signed agreement runs through 2029 and includes a seven-figure minimum annual commitment for each of its three years. The agreement, announced today at Economist Enterprise's Space Economy Summit, extends a collaboration that dates back to September 2020, when HEO approached Satellogic about imaging objects in orbit. The companies began with a small, co-funded engineering effort to adapt Satellogic's Earth observation satellites for non-Earth imaging, and the first capture was the International Space Station. Satellogic is HEO's longest-standing Earth observation constellation partner. Successful captures using Satellogic's fleet have grown from about 30 in 2021, the first full year of service, to over 1,600 under the most recent agreement in the last year. "HEO came to us in 2020 with a question few people in our industry had asked yet: what can an Earth observation satellite see if you point it at what's in orbit?" said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Co-Founder of Satellogic. "Our first project was a picture of the International Space Station. Six years and well over a thousand captures per year later, HEO has taken the capability and become a leader in NEI and space domain awareness." HEO has access to more satellites through Satellogic than through any other provider in its network. That means more revisit opportunities for each target, more viewing angles, and faster time to first image. The agreement covers Satellogic's NewSat Mark IV, Mark V and Mark VI satellites, including its newest inter-satellite link (ISL)-equipped spacecraft. "Satellogic was one of our earliest partners to back non-Earth imaging, and our partnership has continued to grow through collaboration and innovation ever since," said Dr. Will Crowe, CEO and Co-Founder of HEO. "Together, we've continued to find new ways to adapt their fleet for satellite inspection, improving the quality of imagery and insights available to our customers. Their satellites and our shared innovation give us flexibility as we work to view more objects in space and deliver better data to the government and defense customers whose missions depend on it. The three-year commitment gives us the confidence to keep pushing what's possible."

The Unlimited Hangout Podcast ep #02 - Stargate Argentina. October 17, 2026 In the second episode of The Unlimited Hangout Podcast, Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin discuss their latest investigation into OpenAI's Stargate Argentina data center and the man behind it Emiliano Kargieman. They discuss how Kargieman is a part of a close-knit group of Argentines sponsored by the American group Endeavor that have blurred the lines between Argentina's tech sector and Silicon Valley. In addition, they note that his company Satellogic is working closely with Palantir and SpaceX to create a global satellite surveillance network that aims to soon "predict the future." The discussion also covers the proposal for Stargate Argentina and how Emiliano Kargieman has suggested that OpenAI may not end up being the ultimate user of the center once built, due to an AI debt bubble. He further seems to suggest that the Argentine State will likely use it as it "digitally transforms" under Javier Milei into an AI-powered surveillance state. 0:00 Introductions 2:50 Discussion Overview 10:31 What is Stargate Argentina? 19:28 Who is Emiliano Kargieman? 26:00 What is Satellogic?

US confirms weapons deployed in orbit, space brief 15 Sep 2026. Air Force Secretary Meink confirms US has on-orbit space weapons for the first time. Vega C delivers ESA's FLEX and Sentinel-3C. 218 orbital launches in 2026. Top stories. US military confirms weapons deployed in orbit for the first time. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink announced Monday at the Air, Space & Cyber Conference that the United States now has "on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action." No details on the weapon type, quantity, or host platform were disclosed. Meink said specifics would not benefit deterrence and declined to confirm whether the systems have been tested. The confirmation formalizes what Space Force officials had been hinting at for years as the Pentagon shifted from silence on orbital warfare to open discussion of defensive countermeasures, on-orbit combat, and ground-based satellite-disabling capabilities. For the tracking community, the announcement raises obvious questions about which cataloged objects carry these payloads and whether any previously unattributed maneuvers in the public catalog were related. Vega C deploys ESA's FLEX and Sentinel-3C in dual-payload mission. Avio's Vega C lifted off from Kourou at 01:21 UTC on September 15, delivering two European satellites to orbit. Sentinel-3C separated about one hour after launch, followed by ESA's FLEX (Fluorescence Explorer) 56 minutes later after two additional AVUM+ upper stage burns. This was Vega C's second flight of 2026 and Avio's second launch as an independent operator after splitting from Arianespace. FLEX carries a Fluorescence Imaging Spectrometer designed to detect the faint glow plants emit during photosynthesis, a first-of-its-kind measurement from orbit. Sentinel-3C joins the existing 3A and 3B constellation monitoring oceans, land, ice, and atmosphere, and will eventually replace the aging 3A, which has been operating well past its seven-year design life. Pentagon's space weapons disclosure: why now? Breaking Defense's conference coverage digs into the timing and strategic logic behind Meink's announcement. The public acknowledgment appears calibrated as a deterrence signal aimed at Beijing and Moscow, both of which have tested or deployed counterspace capabilities in recent years. The disclosure follows a broader Pentagon pattern of gradually declassifying space domain awareness posture while keeping operational specifics classified. Satellogic expanding dod business ahead of October launch. Satellogic is preparing to launch three satellites next month: two NewSat Mark VI birds with optical intersatellite links and one Mark V intended for on-orbit transfer to a customer under the company's Sovereign Space Systems program. The company's first Merlin satellite, designed for continuous 1-meter resolution Earth observation, was previously announced for an October launch but has not been confirmed for this specific mission. The launches support Satellogic's pivot from selling individual images to persistent site monitoring through its Aleph Observer platform. CEO Emiliano Kargieman said Merlin will enable monitoring of a practically unlimited number of terrestrial sites, a capability he described as transformative for defense and intelligence customers who currently lack continuous theater-wide awareness.
