Perseus satellite constellation
Perseus is a constellation of Earth observation satellite, based on the CubeSat platform.
Perseus will provide high quality imagery of the entire Earth, everyday, from a light CubeSat platform, offering imagery at an affordable price, making the data widely accessible. To bridge the data availability barrier, current and archived data will be available to all via a cloud based platform that encourages value added application development in addition to direct imagery access.
The Perseus constellation will utilize the CubeSat standard for cost-effective access to space as secondary payloads to larger, much more expensive Earth observing spacecraft. Traditional Sun-synchronous Earth observation orbits provide constant lighting conditions for data continuity through time. Synchronization of this constellation allows imagery of the entire Earth daily, which is something a traditional spacecraft would be incapable of doing, at a lower cost than one traditional spacecraft.
