Satellogic, a Buenos Aires-based space imaging company backed by Tencent Holdings Ltd., reached an agreement with a Chinese state-owned rocket launcher to put 90 satellites into orbit that can remap the planet every week.
The company -- which also offers analysis of satellite images for the forestry, agriculture and energy industries -- and China Great Wall Industry Corp. will send the machines into low Earth orbit on Long March 6 rockets, Satellogic said. The satellites should be deployed by the end of next year.
