Albedo
Bringing space closer to Earth
Albedo is a space technology company developing satellites that operate in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) at approximately 275 km altitude, roughly half the altitude of traditional low earth orbit satellites. By operating closer to Earth, their satellites deliver 4x better resolution, 4x stronger signal, and 16x improved active signal returns compared to higher-orbit alternatives. They offer satellite buses, integrated satellites, and turnkey missions optimized for defense, intelligence, and commercial sensing applications.
Albedo builds and operates satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit at 275 km, where proximity to Earth provides physics-driven performance gains across imaging, RF sensing, connectivity, and missile defense applications.
