Emiliano Kargieman has ambitious plans for Satellogic, the firm he established in 2010 to develop Earth observation satellites. Kargieman envisions launching a constellation of 300 satellites, each weighing approximately 25 kilograms, to provide global Earth imagery with 1-meter resolution and updates every five minutes. "People are using Fitbit and other devices to quantify self-movement," Kargieman said. "We are aiming to quantify Earth's movement." With 300 spacecraft providing frequently refreshed imagery, Satellogic's constellation would enable customers to address global issues such as natural resources management, food security, energy generation and distribution, Kargieman said.
