IN THE NEWS
"A handful of new space companies have announced plans to develop satellites for very low-Earth orbit (VLEO). The first of these companies to actually reach the launch pad is a Denver-based startup named Albedo."
"Spy satellites are essentially flying telescopes that look down rather than up. The sharpness of their images depends on two things: the size of the mirror and the telescope's distance from its target. Albedo is focused on the second of those factors."
"In fact, if Albedo can deliver, its offering may be cost-competitive with sub-Kármán line optical operations and eat market share away from camera-equipped Cessnas, enterprise DJI drones, and the like."
"By flying so low, Albedo’s birds could theoretically collect optical imagery that’s 10X better than what’s commercially sold today."
"Barely two years after its founding, Colorado startup Albedo has caught the attention of Space Force intelligence pros with its promise of satellite imagery at a level of detail rivaling that taken by surveillance aircraft."
"Albedo was granted a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration license to sell commercial optical imagery with a resolution of 10 centimeters per pixel. Ten centimeters per pixel is higher than any commercial satellite imagery currently on the market, which made some people question how NOAA would handle the request."

We’re changing the bigger picture, one detail at a time.

At Albedo, we believe that space is more than just a place to explore—it’s also a powerful point of view that can be used to help tackle problems here on Earth. Our exquisite imagery empowers leaders with the details that matter so that we can see with clarity and act with certainty.
