New Satellites Extend Inter-Satellite Link Architecture Across Satellogic's Fleet and Add Capacity to the Company’s Sovereign Space Systems Program

PARIS, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ:SATL), the infrastructure company for Persistent Global Intelligence (PGI), today announced that two new NewSat Mark VI satellites equipped with inter-satellite link (ISL) technology and one additional NewSat Mark V satellite will launch in October 2026.

The two Mark VI satellites extend Satellogic's ISL architecture across a growing share of its fleet, allowing satellites to share information directly with one another in orbit. A detected change or object of interest on one satellite can inform the tasking of another without every decision passing through the ground first, shortening the data-to-decision timeline and ensuring the constellation operates as a connected, coordinated system.

The Mark V satellite adds capacity to Satellogic's sovereign Space Systems program, which gives allied governments a pathway from commercial access to dedicated, sovereign-controlled capability. The launch builds on a body of proof points that includes Portugal's purchase of a sovereign satellite, the company's execution of the first commercial in-orbit transfer of a satellite, Tata's operation of dedicated capacity for India, and HEO Australia's first-of-its-kind sovereign capability.

"Launching these additional satellites builds out our Persistent Global Intelligence infrastructure with inter-satellite links that increasingly allow our satellites to work together as one coordinated system," said Emiliano Kargieman, Chief Executive Officer of Satellogic. "The Mark V launch is a direct response to the growing demand we're seeing from governments who want to own their intelligence capability. Our PGI infrastructure stack is optimized around the knowledge that mission assurance comes from compressing the time between something changing on the ground and the right decision-maker knowing about it."

These new satellites reinforce how the company's architecture is designed to operate as a coordinated stack. ISL-equipped Mark VI satellites carry detection into action faster, by allowing the constellation to communicate and retask itself in orbit. The Mark V satellite ensures that the same architecture is available to sovereign customers who need dedicated, controlled capacity rather than shared commercial access.

"With ISL, a detection on one satellite can inform the tasking of another without requiring every decision to pass through the ground first," said Alan Kharsansky, Chief Technology Officer of Satellogic. "That's the shift from operating independent satellites to running a connected network, one where the constellation itself prioritizes what matters and directs higher-resolution assets where they're needed."

This is one of a few releases Satellogic is putting out this week at World Space Business Week. The company also confirmed an expanded Slingshot III agreement with Innovative Defense Technologies and the U.S. Office of Naval Research and an update on the rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) mission with HEO, in which Continuum-1, a Satellogic-built satellite never designed for close-approach work, was flown, on repurposed software and a modest fuel reserve, into a controlled orbit around an inactive rocket body.
