As in Tirana the Minister of Defense Niko Peleshi and Prime Minister Edi Rama, Satellogic Inc., a leader in the collection of Earth Observation data with sub-meter resolution, announced today that it has reached a three-year agreement with the Government of Albania to develop a dedicated satellite constellation. This unique program - according to BusinessWire - is derived from Satellogic's Constellation-as-a-Service model and will provide Albania with responsive satellite imagery capabilities over its entire territory.

Satellogic's offering enables municipal and state governments to manage a fleet of satellites over a given area of ​​interest and develop an Earth Observation imaging program with unmatched frequency, resolution and cost. In addition to what Prime Minister Rama underlined about the protection of the territory from illegal constructions, Satellogic clarifies that "the agreement will also enable Albania to address pressing issues that include the management of agriculture, illegal agricultural crops (drug plots), management traffic, fire monitoring, border security and environmental monitoring through high-quality nationwide imagery at a cost-effective price”.

Albania will have priority access to two satellites, which will be named "Albania-1" and "Albania-2", which are expected to join Satellogic's fleet in its next satellite launch with SpaceX (Elon Musk's company ).

"With the Dedicated Satellite Constellation, Satellogic will accelerate Albania's participation in the New Space Economy. Additionally, these satellites will provide unprecedented situational awareness nationwide through better data from space,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Co-Founder of Satellogic. "Albania aims to develop its involvement in the space community by harnessing the power of high-resolution satellite imagery, and we are excited about the opportunity to support the country's ambitions as well as its duties as a NATO member," he said. .

The company explained that through Satellogic's Cloud data infrastructure, Albania will be able to provide real-time solutions to many issues, analyze and disseminate critical knowledge and information. Satellogic will support the training of telecommunication specialists within the Albanian Government to assist in the analysis and distribution of satellite products to various ministries in the country and to build the capacity of the Albanian space economy.
