e-GEOS, an Telespazio (80 percent) company, and ImageSat International (ISI), are partnering to jump into the market with their own new Earth Observation satellite constellation. The two companies announced on July 20 that they are creating the Elettro Optical-SAR EO satellite constellation out of combined assets from both e-GEOS and ISI. The two partnering companies said they would be able to offer “a natural expansion through access to intelligence gathering assets,” to their existing customer bases. “Combining satellites with different sensing technologies launched into traditional Polar orbits and mid inclination orbits will ensure High Revisit – Ultra High Resolution imaging capabilities throughout day and night time and in all weather conditions.”
