EarthDaily Analytics Corp. announced the initial mission partners for the Company's EarthDaily Constellation of 9 super-spectral satellites. The EarthDaily Constellation will provide unprecedented daily global coverage of the Earth's land masses, significantly enhancing geospatial analytics capabilities to provide value-added insights in industries including agriculture, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), insurance, disaster prevention and recovery, commodities trading, and more by the end of 2023.EDA's lead partner for this mission is Loft Orbital Solutions Inc. which in turn has contracted with Airbus SE to supply satellite buses based on Airbus' OneWeb heritage and production lines, incorporating a range of technical improvements in line with EarthDaily's ultra-high performance requirements.

EDA's contract with Loft Orbital includes 10 satellite buses (including an in-orbit spare), integration of the imaging payloads into the satellites, launch, and spacecraft operations. Loft Orbital will also provide the systems and services that enable EDA to operate the imaging payloads and downlink the data directly to its cloud-based ground segment. Construction of the EarthDaily Constellation satellites began in September 2021, with launches scheduled for 2023.

The constellation will collect scientific-grade, 5 meter resolution imagery of the planet in a unique combination of 22 spectral bands using 3 different camera types, covering a broad spectral range from visible to thermal wavelengths, to support a range of geoanalytics applications across diverse end markets.
