Satellogic, a leader in high-performance Earth Observation (EO) platforms that deliver unique sovereign solutions and AI-first monitoring, announced an agreement with CEiiA, the Centre of Engineering and Product Development in Portugal, for the supply and in-orbit delivery of two NewSat Mark V 50cm-class imaging satellites.

The agreement strengthens Portugal and Europe’s sovereign Earth observation capabilities by providing assured-access to high-resolution imagery for civil, environmental, and security missions. The satellites will integrate the Portuguese component of the Atlantic Constellation, enhancing operational resilience and autonomous data availability. The two satellites are built with more than 85% European-sourced components, reinforcing Europe’s industrial base, supply-chain resilience, and long-term technological independence. The partnership envisions a comprehensive and structured knowledge transfer program.

Speed of delivery is central to the partnership with ownership and operational control transferring to the CEiiA in Q2 2026 thereby ensuring sovereign tasking and decision-making authority. The accelerated delivery timeline is enabled by Satellogic’s vertically integrated production line, and rapid launch cadence.

Through this partnership and collaboration, CEiiA advances national capacity building and furthers the implementation and deployment of the Atlantic Constellation, which will gain a dedicated, high-capacity Earth observation capability to support timely and actionable geospatial intelligence across multiple priority domains, including sustainability, security, and defense, aligned with national and regional priorities.

“With this agreement, Satellogic continues to redefine satellite system delivery by providing fast, affordable, and sovereign access to high-quality Earth observation capability,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO & Co-Founder of Satellogic. “Portugal and the Atlantic Constellation represent a forward-looking approach to resilient space-based intelligence. CEiiA will benefit from the fastest EO capability deployments in the industry, backed by Satellogic’s proven manufacturing and operational track record.”

“CEiiA is leading the development of a new generation of satellite constellations that address the combined needs of institutional, commercial and defense markets and this collaboration with Satellogic is a very valuable step in national capacity building in the field of Earth Observation featuring a comprehensive transfer of knowledge component,” stated Jorge Cabral, CEiiA’s Board of Directors Chief Scientific Officer. “The supply of these two satellites marks another important milestone for the fulfilment of the Atlantic Constellation.”
