Albedo

????'?? ???? ????????, ????????! Tomorrow night, Clarity-1 is launching on SpaceX's Transporter-13 mission. Peek the photo below and check us out at the top of the stack ?? ?? Watch the launch live tomorrow night at 11:39 pm PT here: https://lnkd.in/gSP78BHJ

Clarity-1 is ready for ???????????????? ? Final moments at the payload integration facility resulted in some pretty slick and equally heart-warming photos. Next stop: VLEO ????

Last Friday, we managed to take a few hours away from the busyness of launch prep to celebrate getting Clarity-1 to the launchpad. Our team doesn't need much help get the good times rolling, but some launch jackets may have helped ?? Look good, feel good, launch good ??

Shoutout to Eric Berger for covering the upcoming launch of Clarity-1 and breaking the news - Albedo has been selected for a $12M STRATFI opportunity by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)! We're excited to provide AFRL with Albedo's unique dataset to inform how U.S. Government space capabilities can operate effectively in VLEO. https://lnkd.in/ggbB4mbU

Solid recap of Albedo and the challenges of VLEO by The Economist! On the National Security front, Albedo is redefining exquisite economics. On the commercial front, making aircraft/drone quality data available at a global scale will unlock efficiencies across numerous industries. Better data, better decisions. (And another plug for our new video :), https://lnkd.in/g-bkaAnT)

Very soon, Clarity-1 will launch as the first commercial satellite to operate in Very Low Earth Orbit. Beginning with 10 cm resolution imagery — previously only possible with aircraft or billion-dollar government satellites — Albedo is redefining what’s possible from space. Find out how we're walking the VLEO walk, not just talking the VLEO talk ??

Today we celebrate another huge milestone as we gear up for Manifest: Demo Day, America's premier cutting-edge defense tech showcase... Presenting the 35 companies taking the stage (the ONLY stage at Demo Day) next month in Washington, DC. Thank you so much to everyone -- founders, engineers, investors, innovation units, requirements owners and beyond -- for the extreme level of input, effort, and buy-in to a process that we hope results in the most eye-opening day ever for early-stage defense technology. (Check out page 2 for the quick TLDR on each demo company) And a special thank you to the absolutely hardcore team behind Manifest Demo Day: Landon, Ryan, Katharine, & Kate. LET'S DO THIS ! ! ??????

Last week, we said our farewell to Clarity-1 as we shipped her away to the launchpad. Bon Voyage, Clare ?? - talk to you in VLEO!

Just a couple of proud parents sending Clare off to her big day. Next stop, launch! ?? Get ready to See with Clarity - the highest resolution imagery will be out for the world to see soon! Let's go!!
