Albedo is designing and building the first very low earth orbit (VLEO) constellation of twenty-four 10 cm GSD electro-optical + 2m thermal infrared (EO/TIR) satellites that will produce 9x the number of pixels over an area compared to todays 30 cm best-in-class satellites from Maxar, and 25x the pixels from the more common 50cm resolution Planet Skysats. The low cost, ubiquitously available (when at scale), and unclassified imagery will allow Air/Space Force ISR professionals a significant advantage identifying enemy military aircraft and vehicles and their movements. Higher resolution pixels provide the additional detail required for feature recognition to fingerprint a single military vehicle. With higher resolution and AI, timelines to identify military vehicles can decrease to less than 1% of the time needed for humans to perform the task unaided. In addition, confidence in those AI or human detections can increase 30% or more with Albedos higher resolution.
