Dragonfly Aerospace To Launch Its First Imaging Satellite, EOS SAT-1

Dragonfly Aerospace is launching its first Imaging satellite today, EOS SAT-1. The satellite, manufactured entirely by Dragonfly Aerospace in Stellenbosch, South Africa, is the world’s first agriculture-focused satellite constellation. EOS SAT-1 will provide the agriculture and forestry industry with efficient data to advance sustainable practices and ensure profitability. In addition, the satellite will directly affect the agricultural sector by harnessing remote sensing to shape the industry and aligning with the United Nations SDG goals for development. The satellite will be blasted into orbit by SpaceX’s Transporter-6, which is set to depart from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today. Besides the EOS SAT-1, the Transporter-6 is expected to carry satellites for Planet Labs, Spire Global and other payloads for scientific, research and commercial customers.
