NewOrbit engineers very-low Earth orbit satellites that fly at one-third the altitude of conventional satellites, enabling higher resolution space imagery, direct-to-device data transmission, and more precise weather forecasting. Their NEO-1 satellite is designed to operate sustainably in this low orbit and vanish within a month of decommissioning, safeguarding space from debris. They serve applications requiring enhanced Earth observation, global connectivity, and world-class weather forecasting.
