Canopus Systems US

Canopus Systems US, LLC, is an American company developping the Perseus constellation of Earth observation satellites.

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.
