Note

(*) As per press release of April 20221 the BlackSky constellation is expanding to 14 satellites. Planned full constellation is of 60 microsatellites.

(**) WS and EWS modes are not supported until calibration factor is fixed by KARI.

(***) As of November 2022, the PlanetScope constellation operated by Planet consists of approximately 130 DOVE cubesats2.

(****) As of January 2023, Satellogic's Aleph-1 constellation consists of 30 operational NewSat (or ÑuSat) microsatellites3.
