Satellogic Signs
Agreement with Agencia Espacial del Paraguay to
Provide Dedicated Satellite Constellation to the
Republic of Paraguay
October 26, 2021
Satellogic has signed a letter
of intent (the “LOI”) with Agencia Espacial del
Paraguay (“AEP”) to develop a Space-as-a-Service
program for the country. As a result of this LOI,
Satellogic and AEP will undertake various
technological and scientific projects in accordance
with AEP’s Institutional Strategic Plan and the
Space Policy of Paraguay.
The LOI provides a framework
for the start-up and development of a dedicated
satellite constellation network. Satellogic’s
Dedicated Satellite Constellation Program enables
municipal, state, and national governments to manage
a fleet of satellites over a specific area of
interest and develop a geospatial imaging program at
unmatched frequency, resolution, and cost.
“The Dedicated Satellite
Constellation Satellogic will develop for AEP is a
low-risk, cost-effective Space-As-A-Service model
tailored for AEP and the Republic of Paraguay,” said
Luciano Giesso, Sales Director for Satellogic.
“Latin America is increasingly focused on space
technologies to create new infrastructures to unlock
the benefits of satellite data across many
industries. This region continues to be an area of
focus for us, uncovering huge opportunities for new
space activities and projects.”
Countries unequipped with their
own satellites orbiting the Earth are limited in
their ability to capture data about their policy
implementation and infrastructure. Satellogic’s
Dedicated Satellite Constellation Program expands
access to geospatial analytics and insights that
contribute to strategic national interests, with no
capital outlay and no technical or operational
risks.
“This is the first agreement of
this kind signed between AEP and a global space
company, contributing to aerospace development for
the public and private sectors of Paraguay, and
establishing a sustainable system for our Space
Agency purposes,” expressed Alejandro Román, General
Director of Aerospace Development for AEP.
“Satellogic is building the first scalable,
high-resolution, earth-observation platform, and
they could become the ideal partner to leverage
outer space peacefully for the benefit of the
Paraguayan population and the development of our
country on new satellite technologies.”
With access to Satellogic's
Dedicated Satellite Constellation Program,
governments of all sizes are now able to develop
unique earth-observation programs to support key
decisions and manage policy impact, measure
investment and socio-economic progress, and foster
collaboration, data and information sharing, and
innovation.
