The Satellogic NewSat constellation (also known as the Aleph-1 or Nusat constellation) is a commercial high-resolution optical Earth observation constellation designed, built, and operated by Satellogic. The programme began launching in May 2016 and has grown to a multi-satellite operational fleet in sun-synchronous low Earth orbit. Individual satellites carry multispectral cameras with a 6.5 km swath and sub-metre to 1 m class resolution, offering global tasking, approximately daily revisit, and an archive of about 10 years.^[1]^[2] Published satellite counts differ by source and observation date: the 2024 Form 10-K reported approximately 20 operational satellites out of 22 in orbit at that filing date, while the NASA CSDA quality assessment noted 14 operational satellites at assessment start within a 44-satellite March 2024 constellation.^[3]^[4] The constellation supports applications including land cover change monitoring, agricultural crop assessment, economic activity tracking, and transport infrastructure surveys.^[5]
