EarthDaily Constellation: daily global scientific quality imagery for environmental monitoring

The EarthDaily Constellation (EDC), planned to be operational in early 2025, is a revolutionary Earth observation system designed to provide daily global coverage of the Earth's landmass with scientific-grade data. The mission's origins can be traced back to the agriculture sector, where there was a pressing need for high-quality, frequent Earth observation data to support critical decisions. Over time, the mission evolved to address a wide range of environmental applications including water management, forestry, disaster response, wildfire risk and wildfire propagation, greenhouse gas monitoring, and more. EDC addresses the need for more frequent, higher-resolution scientific-quality monitoring to understand and mitigate the impacts of climate change.The ten-satellite constellation, equipped with 22 spectral bands ranging from visible to long-wave thermal infrared, will collect an unprecedented 100 TB of data per day with a 10-year design life.The spectral bands have been carefully modeled after Landsat-8/9 and Sentinel-2 to ensure compatibility with historical archives, supporting long-term studies of Earth's evolution, and maximizing the value for environmental monitoring
