EarthDaily is a Canadian commercial satellite constellation of optical imaging Earth observation satellites.[1][2][3][4][5] The constellation was developed by the Canadian company EarthDaily Analytics (EDA) with headquarters in Vancouver,[1][6] based on assets acquired from the defunct company UrtheCast.[7][8][9][10] Each of the 10 identical satellites is equipped with an optical imaging instrument observing over 22 spectral bands (six for visible light, six for near-infrared, six for shortwave infrared, and four for thermal infrared) with a spatial resolution of 5 m.[7] The constellation's first satellite was launched on Falcon 9's Transporter-14 mission on 23 June 2025.[1] Next six satellites were launched on Falcon 9's CAS500-2 rideshare mission on 3 May 2026 at 7:00 UTC.[11][12][2][13]
