In the three short days since Clarity-1 launched, we have: - Established first contact (sound up to for the 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒔 🥹) - Transitioned to Protect Mode - Successfully commissioned our VLEO bus hardware, confirmed by our mission data of Clarity-1 tracking Pretoria, South Africa

Actual mission data powering this visual. Precision hardware and pointing algorithms are a GO ✅🎯 Team is absolutely ripping. Stay tuned for more updates.

exquisite low cost capabilities satellites 🤝 Albedo Bringing back the American defense industrial base, one VLEO satellite at a time 🇺🇸

We asked Topher Haddad to break down what Albedo does. "We started 2020 in Y Combinator." "Albedo builds satellites that fly in VLEO (Very Low Earth Orbit) and capture clear images." "It's a breakthrough in terms of the data quality and costs."

Creating shareholder value thanks to TBPN - live from Mission Control

We asked Topher Haddad about his customers. "Albedo has 22 commercial clients deploying its satellites for 10cm imaging from very low Earth orbit." "They range from mining, power lines, agriculture and mapping uses." "We have sold out our US capacity. Our allies will be the

The first Albedo SpaceDrop is a success 🪂✅ We have checked off yet another commissioning milestone and successfully completed our first on-orbit software update for Clarity-1. This first SpaceDrop increases Clarity-1's performance, crucial for sensor and imagery calibration.

A lot has happened in two weeks. We launched Clarity-1. Made first contact. Transitioned to Protect mode. Commissioned our hardware and operational modes. Completed an on-orbit software update. Hop aboard the rocketship or you'll get left behind 🚀 albedo.beehiiv.com/p/t-2-weeks-af…

Commissioning milestones ahead of schedule Monthly newsletter on time, 1st of month We have too much real news to post a joke today, but we’ll have a good one next year

Yuri was first check in our seed round & my best advisor on all things sales over the past 4 years Congrats both Yuri Sagalov & General Catalyst !

Clarity-1 has completed LEO commissioning and started her powered descent to VLEO — with a nice kickoff boost from one of our friendly CME's 🔥 Catch up on the latest in our monthly newsletter 👇 albedo.beehiiv.com/p/bedo-newslet…

Thank you Dan Goldin! Great overview of how Albedo is pioneering the spacious new frontier of VLEO

What does it take to get a satellite to space today? Topher Haddad, CEO of Albedo, just broke down something that would have sounded nearly impossible a decade ago: you can get a satellite to space for around $1 million in just a few months. This democratization of space

Cara & I are married!

Here we go 🫡

Topher Haddad sold out satellite capacity years before having a product to deliver. When Albedo was still developing their first satellite, they created artificial scarcity. With just one satellite planned, they had finite imaging capacity over specific regions. The value

What does it take to design, build, and launch satellites into one of space’s toughest orbits? Albedo cofounder and CTO AyJay Lasater shares how physics-based design, in-house engineering, and unconventional problem-solving are guiding their mission — from rethinking designs to

Hit us up for that alpha

Huge thanks to LeoLabs for tracking our lens cap. Between VLEO drag & the geometry of our lens cap - this was not an easy tracking problem, and they totally delivered. Clarity-1 imagery calibrations are underway, no cap
