Urthecast was a Canadian company that specialized in satellite imaging, data services and geo-analytics. The company operated two cameras on the International Space Station (ISS) and two satellites in low Earth orbit.[2] Urthecast also planned to launch two satellite constellations, OptiSAR and UrtheDaily, to provide global coverage and high-resolution imagery of the Earth.[3] However, the company faced financial difficulties and filed for creditor protection in 2020. A new start-up, EarthDaily Analytics, emerged from Urthecast’s insolvency in 2021.[4]
