The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is already thinking about what’s next after its RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) launches in February 2019.

There are 13 Canadian commercial satellite constellations in development with 384 planned satellites and five satellites already on-orbit.

In reading the second quarter financial results from UrtheCast you can see how bad the situation is. Listening to their investor call is what truly gives you a sense as to how bad this company performed, but that maybe, better times might be in sight.

UrtherCast reported mixed third quarter earnings yesterday and indicated that it was poised to follow through on its business plan to deliver machine-to-machine Earth observation software as a service.
