Satellogic Inc (NASDAQ: SATL) is an Earth observation (EO) company that designs, manufactures, launches, and operates small satellites to deliver high-resolution geospatial imagery and analytics. Revenue comes from two business lines: a Data & Analytics platform that sells satellite imagery and geospatial data to customers, and a Space Systems business that sells satellites directly to customers. The company targets defense and intelligence (D&I) customers within the U.S. government and allied countries as its primary end market, with a secondary focus on sovereign clients globally. Founded in 2010 by Emiliano Kargieman and Gerardo Richarte, and headquartered with principal manufacturing in Montevideo, Uruguay, Satellogic is vertically integrated, assembling and testing satellites in-house in a free-trade zone facility. The company is U.S.-incorporated and operates under a non-ITAR design, which it describes as a competitive differentiator for international sovereign and defense sales. As of the 10-K filed March 19, 2026, Satellogic remains an early-stage company with limited demonstrated ability to generate sustained revenue, and is dependent on a small number of customers for a large portion of revenue.
