LatConnect 60 is developing a constellation of mid-inclined orbit remote sensing satellites with onboard computers running Artificial Intelligence (AI) for data pre-processing and advanced tip-and-cue functionality that will process images and data in orbit. The first two “smart” small satellites are expected in early 2022.

Image data and information will be available on the UP42 developer platform for Earth observation data and analytics. The UP42 marketplace already includes Pleiades 1A/B, SPOT 6/7, Landsat-8, TerraSar-X, Sentinel-2, and MODIS satellite imagery, HxGN and Getmapping aerial data, Intermap DEMs, exactEarth AIS data, and Meteomatics weather and ocean data.
