Satellogic has launched a constellation of small, inexpensive nano-satellites into space to deliver high-resolution imagery and real-time data for public and private purchase back on Earth. Applications range from the monitoring of traffic flows and the tracking of natural disasters to optimising energy efficiency and increasing business intelligence. Several of the satellites are already in orbit, and Satellogic plans to launch another 60 by the end of 2018 – and another 300 within 10 years. The satellite network offers users customisable control over imagery targets, giving Satellogic a distinct advantage in the commercial satellite imaging market — which is expected to exceed $5bn in value. The BV judging panel congratulates Satellogic on its competitive market position, and on its win for the 2018 award for the Most Innovative Infrastructure Monitoring Services (Latin America).
