2026 is off to a powerful start at EarthDaily!
As we prepare to expand the EarthDaily Constellation, moving toward full commercial operations this year, the energy across our teams is matched by something more important: measured performance in orbit.
In June 2025, our first satellite entered orbit. For a science-grade mission, launch is only the beginning. What follows is commissioning, calibration, validation, and pipeline hardening under real orbital conditions.
Since launch:
Over months of sustained operation, the architecture stabilized within defined performance margins. Those margins have now been met in orbit and the stack performed as designed.
Today, we are sharing early images from our visible and near infrared sensor (VNIR) as confirmation that the system has reached the initial performance thresholds defined for our mission.
Covering 22 spectral bands from visible to thermal, the constellation is built to produce stable, science-grade measurements that benchmark against leading public missions such as Sentinel-2 while offering higher spatial precision and expanded global coverage.
This first satellite was intentionally launched ahead of full constellation deployment to validate the complete architecture before scale was introduced. Its role was to exercise everything: spacecraft, sensors, calibration workflows, ground systems, and processing pipelines under operational conditions.
That validation began before launch, continued in orbit, and it is ongoing as we prepare to launch the remainder of the constellation later this year.
Here are early images from EarthDaily Constellation 1 (EDC-01): a purpose-built, science-grade system engineered for broad-area change detection.
Daily. Globally consistent. AI-ready.
We’re just getting started and are excited to see what comes next
Enjoy this early look at images from EDC-01.
