Satellogic Signs $18MM USD Agreement with Portugal to Deliver Two Mark V High-Resolution Satellites
Government & Public Sector: This data will enable Portugal to build automation and AI models to detect illegal deforestation or polluters, optimize traffic management systems, or automate disaster response protocols. In Agriculture, Portugal can use this data with existing models to assess crop health, predict yields, or optimize irrigation, furthering automation in the sector.
Operational impact: For government and commercial entities utilizing EO data, this agreement translates into access to more granular and frequent imagery. This improvement necessitates robust AI/ML pipelines for automated image processing, feature extraction, and change detection. This increases the importance of data science teams and their expertise in training AI models to handle the data volume and complexity, and ultimately, optimizing operational processes in agriculture, defense, and infrastructure monitoring.
