Successful Launch of First Satellite Marks Critical Milestone in Deployment of Next Generation Earth Observation and Broad Area Change Detection System
VANCOUVER, BC, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EarthDaily Analytics (EarthDaily) today announced the successful launch and initial contact with the first satellite of its EarthDaily Constellation, marking a major milestone in the deployment of its next generation Earth Observation system. Telemetry has been received, solar arrays have successfully deployed, and the satellite has transitioned to a safe attitude and is power positive.
This achievement begins the rollout of the world's most advanced end-to-end Earth Observation system, delivering scientifically calibrated, daily global imagery paired with advanced AI and analytics. The system is designed to unlock broad area change detection, enabling smarter decision making, and transforming how industries and governments monitor our planet.
This inaugural satellite is the first in a ten-satellite constellation. The remaining satellites are in the final stages of assembly and testing, with the full constellation expected to be operational next year, positioning EarthDaily for revenue generation across high-growth sectors.
"This is not just the start of a constellation, it's the beginning of a new era in Earth Observation, and a clear signal of our market readiness," said Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily. "We are not just seeing the world as it is today; we will be predicting what it will be tomorrow. We've invested years in building this vision: a system capable of capturing the planet's changes with unmatched accuracy, every single day. This launch validates our technology and accelerates our path to becoming the leading provider of daily, AI-ready Earth intelligence."
"The successful launch of EarthDaily's first satellite marks an important milestone in the company's business plan," said Chandra Patel, Managing Partner of Antarctica Capital. "Antarctica Capital has been a proud supporter of the company and its mission to be a vertically integrated industry leader focused on leveraging its AI-ready data, software, and data analytics to provide high-quality insights of critical value to high-impact industries. We believe the EarthDaily Constellation will catalyze a new chapter in Earth Observation and we are excited to see EarthDaily Analytics leverage the creation of this proprietary database of content that is unmatched in the industry."

- Energy & Mining: Monitoring infrastructure, supporting resource exploration, and mitigating environmental impact.
- Spacial Finance: Improving risk modeling, underwriting, and market intelligence.
- Environmental Monitoring & Climate Resilience: Supporting sustainability initiatives, carbon tracking, and disaster response.
- Government & Defense: Enabling national security, infrastructure planning, and emergency management.
Unlike existing offerings, EarthDaily's system delivers the capabilities of Sentinel-2 with higher resolution and daily revisit. Each satellite in the constellation is equipped with 16 advanced multi-sensor imagers, calibrated for precision Earth Observation to support global change detection at scale.
Key features include:
- Daily Global Revisit: Reliable, consistent Earth coverage designed for industries requiring timely, accurate insights.
- High-Quality Data: Scientifically calibrated, multi-spectral imagery optimized for AI and machine learning applications.
Osborne adds, "This is more than a launch. The EarthDaily Constellation is laying the foundation for the future of geospatial analytics and risk mitigation. By delivering consistent, AI-ready data daily, it enables customers to move beyond traditional Earth Observation and fully harness the power of data-driven intelligence. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of Antarctica Capital, who consistently shared in the vision of our relentless pursuit of what's possible."

EarthDaily Ignites a New Era in Earth Observation with Landmark Satellite Launch
GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.
ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.
The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.
Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.
Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."
This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
