We are Earth-i. We are building a large constellation of very high-resolution satellites that will work in flawless harmony – ultimately raising revisit rates to several times a day, and delivering near real-time video and still images from space. This will open new opportunities for the development of tools and applications that can leverage value from high-frequency, high-resolution image and video data.

Fit-for-purpose mapping, using very-high-resolution imagery from Earth Observation satellites, is fast-becoming an effective and cost-efficient tool for monitoring the national power gr...
Very high-resolution (VHR) geospatial data from Earth Observation (EO) satellites can be highly beneficial to effective and cost-efficient national water resources management. As populati...
The diverse nature of threats to security has never been so immense, and it has long been recognised that geospatial information provides a unique perspective to assist in understanding t...
Together, our fleet of satellites offer a unique mix of capabilities, with the high-spatial and temporal resolution data you can rely on. Our Constellations gives you access to a range of high-resolution data, across a number of bands. The DMC3/TripleSat Constellation of 3 optical satellites offers daily very high-resolution imagery of anywhere on Earth, and the KOMPSAT series of satellites has a range of sensors on board 3 optical and 1 SAR satellite.
From 2019, our own Vivid-i Constellation will be launched and operational providing 1m resolution imagery and full colour video, with multiple daily revisits. We are at the forefront of planetary data.
