Event Summary

EarthDaily Analytics announced successful initial contact with EDC-08 following its launch aboard SpaceX's Transporter-17 mission on July 7, 2026, marking Launch III for the EarthDaily Analytics Constellation. This brings the satellite count to eight, the number required for commercial operations. The company also released first imagery from EDC-02 through EDC-07, which were deployed in May and are progressing through commissioning. The EarthDaily Analytics Constellation is designed for daily global land coverage with 22 spectral bands, supporting broad-area change detection for defense, agriculture, natural resources, climate resilience, and infrastructure. Commercial operations are expected later this year.
