With an early customer commitment secured, Satellogic is advancing NextGen production to meet growing global demand for AI-first Earth Observation systems.
Designed for sovereign-ready missions, NextGen features 30 cm-class resolution and real-time AI processing onboard.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Satellogic, Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), a leader in satellite manufacturing and Earth observation data, today confirmed the launch of its newest very high-resolution satellite platform, marking a major milestone in the company’s next phase of growth. Designed to meet global demand for sovereign space capabilities, NextGen builds on the company’s proven NewSat architecture, backed by more than a decade of flight heritage and over 50 successful satellite launches.
Featuring a non-ITAR design, 30 centimeter class resolution across all visible and multispectral bands, as well as AI-enabled analytics processed directly on orbit, NextGen's system represents a significant advancement in autonomous Earth observation. By moving analytics closer to the sensor, the platform allows governments and operators to detect changes on the ground in near real time and act on emerging threats or opportunities without delay. NextGen is already under agreement for delivery, with the first satellite expected to be operational in 2027.
"As space becomes increasingly central to global infrastructure and decision-making, nations must move to autonomous space programs. With NextGen, we are not just advancing satellite technology, we are redefining how intelligence is acquired, processed, and acted upon,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Founder of Satellogic. “Near real-time, very high-resolution Earth observation is no longer a luxury for the few. It is now an essential layer of sovereignty, and we are proud to deliver it through a platform that prioritizes accessibility, control, and trust."
NextGen will augment Satellogic’s vertically integrated constellation, supported by the Aleph platform for tasking, access, and delivery. Users can request and receive high or very-high-resolution imagery and AI-generated insights through Aleph’s secure cloud-based tools, APIs, or direct-to-cloud options. This low-latency delivery model significantly reduces the time from collection to decision.
To ensure global accessibility, NextGen is non-ITAR by design, export-ready,allowing for greater international collaboration, regional production, and customized integration with national space programs including technology and knowledge transfer. It supports Satellogic’s growing portfolio of technology transfer and co-development initiatives around the world.
With this announcement, Satellogic deepens its commitment to enabling partners to build and operate sovereign constellations, gain independent control over their observation capabilities, and shape the future of real-time, AI-driven Earth intelligence.
