Satellogic

An optical constellation sold as archive, tasking, and Aleph Observer monitoring.

Published by Satellogic.

In short

Satellogic sells optical satellite imagery from its own constellation. The homepage describes archive imagery, tasking, and Aleph Observer, which it says replaces one-off buys with daily high-resolution monitoring across hundreds of sites. A second product, Merlin, is labeled fully operational in the second half of 2027, so it is not something you can open today. No price is printed on that page. A Satellogic frame is an optical observation with a time. It is not a radar image and not a person.

Website

Product pricing strategy

Premium

The Satellogic homepage does not print a price for archive, tasking, Aleph Observer, or dedicated capacity. Do not invent one. SkyFi's FAQ mentions Satellogic among providers whose optical imagery SkyFi sells from $5 a square kilometre for archive and $8 for tasking. Quote that only as a SkyFi price, and say so. Merlin is not on sale as an operating product in 2026. The page dates it to the second half of 2027.

Utility and features

satellogic.com, opened on 16 Oct 2026, leads with archive, tasking, and monitoring. Aleph Observer is the named shift from single images to daily high-resolution monitoring of many priority sites. A separate block offers dedicated capacity and sovereign-trusted architecture for customers who want infrastructure they control rather than access they rent. Merlin is described as a global detection layer that scans the planet daily and tasks the high-resolution constellation, and the page says it is fully operational in the second half of 2027. That sentence keeps Merlin out of the present-tense tool list.

Aleph Observer is the monitoring product. The homepage contrasts it with one-off image buys and describes daily coverage of many sites.
Merlin is dated 2027. The page says fully operational in the second half of 2027. It is not a current login.
No Satellogic price card. The homepage does not print a rate. A SkyFi line that mentions the name is SkyFi's price.

The homepage does not print a dollar price or a free tier. SkyFi's FAQ names Satellogic as one optical provider inside SkyFi's $5 archive and $8 tasking rates. That is SkyFi's checkout. It is not a Satellogic rate card. This listing did not open an Aleph Observer login, so it describes the homepage and not the monitoring workspace.

Leave Merlin out of a 2026 workflow. The homepage dates it to the second half of 2027.

Keep the sensing time on every frame. A daily monitor is a series, not one picture.

Caveats

Daily monitoring still depends on the constellation, the contract, and the weather. 'Hundreds of priority sites' is the homepage's description of Aleph Observer, not a count of sites in your account. A single archive frame is not that monitoring product.

Merlin's planet-wide detection layer is announced, not operating, until the date the page gives. Do not brief a Merlin alert. Dedicated capacity is a different purchase from renting access. Neither one was priced on the page. Optical imagery from this constellation is not SAR. Use Capella, Umbra, or ICEYE when the sensor has to be radar.

Potential use cases

The job is ongoing monitoring of many sites, not one picture. Read the homepage description of Aleph Observer and ask Satellogic whether that product matches the sites and the revisit you need. The page contrasts it with one-off buys and does not print a price. A single archive frame is a different purchase. Keep the sensing time on every frame in the series. Weather and the contract still limit a 'daily' claim.
A proposal lists Merlin as a current detection layer. The homepage says Merlin is fully operational in the second half of 2027. Leave it out of a 2026 workflow. Do not describe alerts from a system the page has not put in operation. Dedicated capacity, the block about owning infrastructure, is a third offer and was also unpriced on the page.
Someone quotes $5 and $8 a square kilometre as Satellogic's rate because SkyFi's FAQ names Satellogic among its optical providers. Label that number as SkyFi's checkout. The Satellogic homepage did not print it. If the file was bought on SkyFi, the caption should say so. Optical imagery from this constellation is not SAR.

Hard cases

The case where the first result is easy to over-read.

Aleph Observer is described as a login

This listing did not open an Aleph Observer account. The homepage names the product and the idea of many priority sites. It does not show the site list or the tasking form. Write what the homepage says, then attach the quote or the contract. 'Hundreds of priority sites' is the page's description of the product, not a count of sites in your account. A dedicated-capacity purchase is a different document from renting access.

Questions

Is Satellogic free?

The homepage does not show a free tier or a price. Archive, tasking, and Aleph Observer read as sales products.

Can you use Merlin now?

No. The homepage says Merlin is fully operational in the second half of 2027.
