About Albedo

Albedo builds satellite buses and complete missions for operation below 400 kilometres in very low Earth orbit. Its Precision platform uses a low-drag structure, atomic-oxygen-resistant materials, autonomous station-keeping and control-moment-gyroscope agility to sustain useful life in the denser upper atmosphere. Clarity combines that bus with Albedo's visible and thermal imaging payload, while Vicinity is being developed for higher-power communications, sensing and demonstration payloads.

Clarity-1 launched in March 2025 and validated sustained VLEO operations, drag modelling and the core Precision platform. Albedo offers payload accommodation, satellite integration, launch and mission operations for imaging, radio-frequency observation, radar or lidar sensing, direct communications and defence missions. The company shifted from selling a single imagery service toward supplying adaptable spacecraft and turnkey missions based on the flight-proven platform.
