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.
Discover the first full colour video from space captured by the VividX2 satellite, the technology prototype for the Vivid-i Constellation.

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.
