Ukraine to receive direct control of imaging
satellites for enhanced intelligence and scalable monitoring of
military movements, safety corridors, and critical
infrastructure
Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ:SATL) a leader in sub-meter resolution
satellite imagery collection, announced a collaboration with
Washington, D.C.-based Halifax International Security Forum
(“HFX”), an independent, non-profit, non-partisan organization
dedicated to strengthening strategic cooperation among democratic
nations, to provide the Ukrainian government with a Dedicated
Satellite Constellation (“DSC”), a fleet of satellites over a
specific area.
This effort is in response to the call from the Ukrainian
Ministry of Defence asking for help in raising funds for
Satellogic’s DSC service. Satellogic prepared a contract for its
DSC service at a significantly reduced price and expedited timeline
for activation. HFX volunteered to raise funds for the service on
behalf of Ukraine.
Currently, Ukraine is receiving satellite imagery from friendly
governments and private companies but it is unable to task those
satellites according to its own needs. The Ukrainian government
will have direct control of the DSC, enabling Ukraine to manage a
fleet of satellites for encrypted tasking and satellite imagery
access over its sovereign territory. The DSC will drastically
increase the country’s access to high-resolution images and video
intelligence from low Earth orbit.
Access to timely, high-resolution satellite imagery will provide
actionable information for the Ukrainian government to mobilize
resources and evacuate civilians. The widespread scale of the
invasion requires the vantage point of space; the DSC will enable
Ukraine to capture up to eight areas of interest of its choosing
every day to monitor and address changing ground conditions across
its sovereign territory and borders.
“The Dedicated Satellite Constellation service is designed to
democratize access to space, enabling Geospatial Intelligence
autonomy for advanced national security. It is a flexible and
affordable satellite-as-a-service model that delivers modernized
capabilities without costly investments in infrastructure,
launches, and operations,” stated Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and
Co-Founder at Satellogic. “The DSC will give the Ukrainian
government a detailed, timely, and scalable perspective of its
country and changing ground conditions that can be used now to
protect its citizens and later for reconstruction and recovery
efforts.”
HFX has launched a $10 million appeal – through its Ukraine
Victory Fund – for the DSC for Ukraine.
“We are choosing to aid Ukraine in the best way we can,
delivering advanced capabilities for critical intelligence that
will enable more timely and informed strategic decisions,” said
Peter Van Praagh, President of HFX.
