A remap of the Earth every two weeks. That's essentially the current game plan for

Saddilogic, a company specializing in high-resolution Earth observation imagery.

Satologic now boasts the largest commercial constellation of sub-meter

resolution satellites in the world, but it has much farther to go.

A goal of 200 in orbit.

Our goal is to remap the entire surface of the planet every single day

except meter resolution. So the idea is to build essentially a live catalog of

everything happening on the planet so that you know any day you can wake up and you want to see

what's going on somewhere and you can you know look in and go take a look what happened yesterday.

Satologic went public via a SPAC in early 2022. The stock has plunged some 80% since then, with a market

value now below $200 million. But revenue has grown up 42% last year.

For investors though, the key is cash.

Does the company have enough to build and deploy all of those satellites?

On this episode, co-founder and CEO Emiliano Kargaman, who goes by EK for short, joins me to discuss the constellation,

the tech capabilities, and Sadologics Business Case.

I'm Morgan Brennan and this is Manifest Space.

So we're a high resolution imaging company.

So we're a high resolution imaging company.

I started a company 13 years ago and what we set out to do was basically rebuild satellites for high resolution imaging

in a way that would allow us to roll out a very large constellation. Started at the company, a high resolution imaging satellite costs

300 or 400 million dollars apiece.

And we needed, because of our business model, we wanted to put a few hundred of the satellites in orbit. So, you know, we couldn't do it at that price point. So we focus for a long period of time in bringing the cost down of building high resolution imaging
