Balkan-1 is going to Space!

We are excited to share that after months of hard work by EnduroSat’s development team, another major milestone in the Balkan Constellation project has been reached. This week, Balkan-1, the pilot mission for the Balkan Constellation, was successfully integrated. The spacecraft was placed into an ExoPod Nova deployer and will be deployed in orbit in early November.

The Balkan Constellation represents a significant step in EnduroSat’s mission to make space data universally accessible. Balkan-1 is a 16U NanoSat, equipped with a state-of-the-art multispectral camera. Its onboard deep neural network processing capabilities will enable new use cases in imagery analytics. The Balkan Constellation will provide EU with unprecedented revisit times, real-time cloud-based monitoring services, and AI-powered detection capabilities. The space data provided by these satellites will accelerate access to maritime surveillance, humanitarian aid, ecological support, and environmental monitoring.
