"Our vertical integration enables Satellogic to have shorter R and D cycles, faster innovation cycles and lower satellite costs compared to competitors, and we believe this approach will continue to unlock commercial opportunities in the market."

"Officina Stellare brings an experienced, dynamic team which complements our development and innovation capabilities. This is an exciting opportunity not only to help guide their delivery of advanced optomechanical instrumentation, but also facilitates our own collaborative growth in commercial markets and customer-centric innovation," added Kargieman.
