Week in Space Data, every Friday.
Albedo is developing very-low-Earth-orbit satellites that capture 10-centimeter visible and 2-meter thermal imagery, bridging the resolution gap between aerial and satellite imaging.
ACTIVEAlbedo develops and manufactures satellites for very low Earth orbit (VLEO). After flying its first satellite, Clarity-1, in March 2025, it exited the commercial imagery business in October 2025 to focus on selling VLEO satellite buses to other payload operators.
