Array Labs
Provides high-resolution 3D geospatial imagery
About Array Labs
Array Labs specializes in creating high-quality 3D imagery using a network of small satellites called radar cubesats. These satellites work together to capture images of the same area from different angles, resulting in 3D images that are significantly more detailed than other options available. The company serves various clients, including government agencies and urban planners, who need accurate imagery for tasks like mapping and disaster response. Array Labs operates on a subscription model, allowing clients to access its continuously updated imagery data. Additionally, they offer a pilot program for early access customers to help refine their product based on user feedback. Their unique satellite system enables them to capture large areas quickly, providing timely data regardless of weather or terrain conditions. The goal of Array Labs is to enhance the geospatial imaging industry by offering cost-effective and precise 3D imagery solutions.
