In the summer of 2010, after spending some time at the Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, Emiliano Kargieman started developing the concepts that would become Satellogic. He realized there was a great opportunity: to bring to the satellite services industry many of the lessons learned during the last two decades of working with Information Technology, and build a platform that provides spatial information services, without major investments in infrastructure. Together with his friend and colleague, Gerardo Richarte, they started Satellogic.
Since 2010, the company has grown from a small start-up to a multinational company that has customers around the globe.Satellogic made Argentina's first two nanosatelites, CubeBug-1 and CubeBug-2 . Their third satellite, BugSat 1 , launched in June 2014. Both the CubeBug-1 and CubeBug-2 as well as the BugSat 1 satellite served as technology tests and demonstrations for the ÑuSat satellites. They also had amateur radio payloads.The CubeBug project was sponsored by Argentinian Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation. Satellogic began launching their Aleph-1 constellation of ÑuSat satellites in May 2016.On 19 December 2019, Satellogic announced they have received US$50 million in funding in the latest funding round. In January 2022 the company went public with a special-purpose acquisition company merger.
