Successful Initial Launch for its Second Generation Real-Time Constellation

exactEarth Ltd. announced the successful launch of four hosted payloads for its next generation constellation, exactView™ RT powered by Harris. Launched aboard an Iridium NEXT satellite on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, these hosted maritime payloads are now being commissioned and are expected to be brought into service shortly. exactView RT will offer for the first time a continuous, global real-time ship tracking capability, providing an unprecedented view of the world’s maritime domain to exactEarth customers. Designed to provide significant improvements to current and future customers, the RT satellites will deliver best-in-class vessel detection rates as well as instantaneous downlinking of AIS information. This will enable average global revisit rates of under one minute with the Company’s customers receiving data in real time. exactView RT will consist of more than 60 payloads aboard the Iridium NEXT constellation, scheduled for completion in 2018.
