AAC Clyde Space ships VIREON™ satellites for launch
2026-02-17 AAC Clyde Space AB (publ)
AAC Clyde Space has completed integration of the first two satellites in its VIREON™ Earth Observation constellation. Both satellites have been shipped to the launch site for the final preparations ahead of launch. The two initial VIREON™ satellites are planned to be launched on SpaceX's Transporter 16 mission.
VIREON™ is designed to balance detail, coverage and revisit frequency, delivering data that is well suited for operational monitoring at scale. The system provides the right level of detail to enable meaningful and cost-effective analysis of land and vegetation. Combined with data processing capabilities, VIREON™ is designed to support practical use of Earth observation data in real-world resource management.
"VIREON™ addresses a clear need in the market for Earth Observation data that can be used operationally and at scale," says Luis Gomes, CEO of AAC Clyde Space. "By building this constellation, we are introducing new long-term capacity to deliver growth within our Data & Services segment."
In parallel with launch preparations, AAC Clyde Space has initiated procurement of components for VIREON™-3 and VIREON™-4. With four satellites, the VIREON™ constellation is designed to provide the coverage and revisit rates required to support commercial and institutional applications. The full constellation supports AAC Clyde Space's expansion within space-based data services.
